Implement Trie (Prefix Tree)

A trie (pronounced as "try") or prefix tree is a tree data structure used to efficiently store and retrieve keys in a dataset of strings.

Implement the Trie class:

  • Trie() Initializes the trie object.
  • void insert(String word) Inserts the string word into the trie.
  • boolean search(String word) Returns true if the string word is in the trie (i.e., was inserted before), and false otherwise.
  • boolean startsWith(String prefix) Returns true if there is a previously inserted string word that has the prefix prefix, and false otherwise.

Example 1:

Input: ["Trie", "insert", "search", "search", "startsWith", "insert", "search"]
[[], ["apple"], ["apple"], ["app"], ["app"], ["app"], ["app"]]
Output: [null, null, true, false, true, null, true]

Constraints:

  • 1 <= word.length, prefix.length <= 2000
  • word and prefix consist only of lowercase English letters.
