Print all words matching a pattern in CamelCase Notation Dictonary

Given a dictionary of words where each word follows CamelCase notation, print all words in the dictionary that match with a given pattern consisting of uppercase characters only.

CamelCase is the practice of writing compound words or phrases such that each word or abbreviation begins with a capital letter. Common examples include: “PowerPoint” and “WikiPedia”, “GeeksForGeeks”, “CodeBlocks”, etc.

Examples:

Input: 
dict[] = ["Hi", "Hello", "HelloWorld",  "HiTech", "HiGeek", 
"HiTechWorld", "HiTechCity", "HiTechLab"]

For pattern "HT",
Output: ["HiTech", "HiTechWorld", "HiTechCity", "HiTechLab"]

For pattern "H",
Output: ["Hi", "Hello", "HelloWorld",  "HiTech", "HiGeek", 
    "HiTechWorld", "HiTechCity", "HiTechLab"]

For pattern "HTC",
Output: ["HiTechCity"]


Input: 
dict[] = ["WelcomeGeek","WelcomeToGeeksForGeeks", "GeeksForGeeks"]

For pattern "WTG",
Output: ["WelcomeToGeeksForGeeks"]

For pattern "GFG",
Output: [GeeksForGeeks]

For pattern "GG",
Output: No match found

The idea is to insert all dictionary keys into the Trie one by one. Here key refers to only Uppercase characters in original word in CamelCase notation. If we encounter the key for the first time, we need to mark the last node as leaf node and insert the complete word for that key into the vector associated with the leaf node. If we encounter a key that is already in the trie, we update the vector associated with the leaf node with current word. After all dictionary words are processed, we search for the pattern in the trie and print all words that matches the pattern.

Below is the implementation of above idea –

C++

// C++ program to print all words in the CamelCase 
// dictionary that matches with a given pattern 
#include <bits/stdc++.h> 
using namespace std; 
  
// Alphabet size (# of upper-Case characters) 
#define ALPHABET_SIZE 26 
  
// A Trie node 
struct TrieNode 
{ 
    TrieNode* children[ALPHABET_SIZE]; 
  
    // isLeaf is true if the node represents 
    // end of a word 
    bool isLeaf; 
  
    // vector to store list of complete words 
    // in leaf node 
    list<string> word; 
}; 
  
// Returns new Trie node (initialized to NULLs) 
TrieNode* getNewTrieNode(void) 
{ 
    TrieNode* pNode = new TrieNode; 
  
    if (pNode) 
    { 
        pNode->isLeaf = false; 
  
        for (int i = 0; i < ALPHABET_SIZE; i++) 
            pNode->children[i] = NULL; 
    } 
  
    return pNode; 
} 
  
// Function to insert word into the Trie 
void insert(TrieNode* root, string word) 
{ 
    int index; 
    TrieNode* pCrawl = root; 
  
    for (int level = 0; level < word.length(); level++) 
    { 
        // consider only uppercase characters 
        if (islower(word[level])) 
            continue; 
  
        // get current character position 
        index = int(word[level]) - 'A'; 
        if (!pCrawl->children[index]) 
            pCrawl->children[index] = getNewTrieNode(); 
  
        pCrawl = pCrawl->children[index]; 
    } 
  
    // mark last node as leaf 
    pCrawl->isLeaf = true; 
  
    // push word into vector associated with leaf node 
    (pCrawl->word).push_back(word); 
} 
  
// Function to print all children of Trie node root 
void printAllWords(TrieNode* root) 
{ 
    // if current node is leaf 
    if (root->isLeaf) 
    { 
        for(string str : root->word) 
            cout << str << endl; 
    } 
  
    // recurse for all children of root node 
    for (int i = 0; i < ALPHABET_SIZE; i++) 
    { 
        TrieNode* child = root->children[i]; 
        if (child) 
            printAllWords(child); 
    } 
} 
  
// search for pattern in Trie and print all words 
// matching that pattern 
bool search(TrieNode* root, string pattern) 
{ 
    int index; 
    TrieNode* pCrawl = root; 
  
    for (int level = 0; level < pattern.length(); level++) 
    { 
        index = int(pattern[level]) - 'A'; 
        // Invalid pattern 
        if (!pCrawl->children[index]) 
            return false; 
  
        pCrawl = pCrawl->children[index]; 
    } 
  
    // print all words matching that pattern 
    printAllWords(pCrawl); 
  
    return true; 
} 
  
// Main function to print all words in the CamelCase 
// dictionary that matches with a given pattern 
void findAllWords(vector<string> dict, string pattern) 
{ 
    // construct Trie root node 
    TrieNode* root = getNewTrieNode(); 
  
    // Construct Trie from given dict 
    for (string word : dict) 
        insert(root, word); 
  
    // search for pattern in Trie 
    if (!search(root, pattern)) 
        cout << "No match found"; 
} 
  
// Driver function 
int main() 
{ 
    // dictionary of words where each word follows 
    // CamelCase notation 
    vector<string> dict = { 
        "Hi", "Hello", "HelloWorld", "HiTech", "HiGeek", 
        "HiTechWorld", "HiTechCity", "HiTechLab"
    }; 
  
    // pattern consisting of uppercase characters only 
    string pattern = "HT"; 
  
    findAllWords(dict, pattern); 
  
    return 0;
