I solved the question using trie and set, however got WA on two cases in subtask 2. Here is the solution. If someone could point out the error or provide certain test case(s), it would be great help. Thanks in advance.

I misunderstood the question. Thanks!

@hikarico
Why isnt the answer for the above test case “googles”?

6

If you write just googles then goog will be missing.

7

@devilhector can you explain me if you understood the above test case.
Even I have those 2 test cases wrong.

8

You need to block all minuses. Answer is -1 because there’s no way to block goog without blocking google and googld

9

input

3
+ google
+ googld
- googles

output should be

1
googles

but you’re outputing

1
google

(sorry i cant post a question yet… so asking here)

@mayank_code you need to answer prefixes that block all ‘-’ but are not prefixes of any ‘+’ or unblocked sites.

My code passes all cases except 2. Can someone please explain what i have done wrong. I used a very naive approach of sorting the strings and applying binary search to find the closest +ve string …

add spaces in the testcase then it gives right answer.
