Print list items containing all characters of a given word

There is a list of items. Given a specific word, e.g., “sun”, print out all the items in list which contain all the characters of “sun”.

For example if the given word is “sun” and the items are “sunday”, “geeksforgeeks”, “utensils”, “”just” and “sss”, then the program should print “sunday” and “utensils”.

Algorithm: Thanks to geek4u for suggesting this algorithm.

1) Initialize a binary map:
        map[256] = {0, 0, ..}
2) Set values in map[] for the given word "sun"
        map['s'] = 1,  map['u'] = 1,  map['n'] = 1
3) Store length of the word "sun":
        len = 3 for "sun"
4) Pick words (or items)one by one from the list
    a) set count = 0;
    b) For each character ch of the picked word
         if(map['ch'] is set)
            increment count and unset map['ch'] 
    c) If count becomes equal to len (3 for "sun"),
           print the currently picked word.
    d) Set values in map[] for next list item
          map['s'] = 1,  map['u'] = 1,  map['n'] = 1

Python

# Python program to print the list items containing all 
# characters of a given word 
NO_OF_CHARS = 256
  
# Prints list items having all characters of word 
def printList(list, word, list_size): 
    map = [0] * NO_OF_CHARS 
  
    # Set the values in map 
    for i in word: 
        map[ord(i)] = 1
  
    # Get the length of given word 
    word_size = len(word) 
  
    # Check each item of list if has all characters 
    # of words 
    for i in list: 
        count = 0
        for j in i: 
            if map[ord(j)]: 
                count+=1
  
                # unset the bit so that strings like sss 
                # not printed 
                map[ord(j)] = 0
        if count==word_size: 
            print i 
  
        # Set the values in map for next item 
        for j in xrange(len(word)): 
            map[ord(word[j])] = 1
  
# Driver program to test the above function 
string = "sun"
list = ["geeksforgeeks", "unsorted", "sunday", "just", "sss"] 
printList(list, string, 5) 
  
# This code is contributed by Bhavya Jain 

Output:

unsorted
 sunday

Time Complexity: O(n + m) where n is total number of characters in the list of items. And m = (number of items in list) * (number of characters in the given word)
