String Matching in an Array Problem & Solution
Given an array of string words
.
Return all strings in words
which is substring of another word in any order.
String words[i]
is substring of words[j]
, if can be obtained removing some characters to left and/or right side of words[j]
.
See the string matching in an array problem on LeetCode.
C++ Solution
#pragma GCC optimize("Ofast")
#pragma GCC optimization("unroll-loops")
static const int _=[](){ios::sync_with_stdio(false);cin.tie(nullptr);cout.tie(nullptr);return 0;}();

public:

set<string> result;
for (int i = 0; i < words.size(); ++i) {
for (int j = 0; j < words.size(); ++j) {
if (i != j && words[i].find(words[j]) != string::npos) {
result.insert(words[j]);
}
}
}
return vector<string>(result.begin(), result.end());
}
