1408. String Matching in an Array --------E

Q:

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].

 

Example 1:

Input: words = ["mass","as","hero","superhero"]
Output: ["as","hero"]
Explanation: "as" is substring of "mass" and "hero" is substring of "superhero".
["hero","as"] is also a valid answer.

Example 2:

Input: words = ["leetcode","et","code"]
Output: ["et","code"]
Explanation: "et", "code" are substring of "leetcode".

Example 3:

Input: words = ["blue","green","bu"]
Output: []

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= words.length <= 100
  • 1 <= words[i].length <= 30
  • words[i] contains only lowercase English letters.
  • It's guaranteed that words[i] will be unique.

A:

class Solution {
public:
    vector<string> stringMatching(vector<string>& words) {
        vector<string> res;
        int n = words.size();
        for(int i =0;i<n;i++){
            string word  = words[i];
            for(int j =0; j<n;j++)
            {
                if(i!=j && words[j].find(word) != string::npos){
                    res.push_back(word);
                    break;  // do no process for current word
                }
            }
        }
        return res;
    }
};



Errors:

Forget to use break.   Thus, one word  can be substring of multiple string
