You could do this too... 1. Sort the words based on length. Max Time: O(nlogn) 2. Now, Create a tree similar to a state transition diagram. For each word in the tree, store their start and end pointers. 3. If a word comprises of another word, then the main word would only store start and end

The very fact that the complexity is O(nlogn) doesn't hold good since the comparison operation takes O(length of string). Can you give us more details on the algorithm? On Wed, May 21, 2008 at 11:32 AM, Chonku [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You could do this too... 1. Sort the words based on

Well, he does say other words. hippopotamuses is not made up of other words in the list. It looks like a recursive procedure would do the trick. It might help to sort the word list into order by length. Then beginning with the longest word, find other words that match the beginning of the word.

You can solve this problem by the following technique: Proc 1: Take any word W in the file Find all strings S(k) which are formed by concatenating k words in the file and is a prefix of W. [A word can repeat multiple times in different places] As you can see, number of words in S(k) will
