Implement a trie with insert, search, and startsWith methods.
Notice
You may assume that all inputs are consist of lowercase letters a-z.
Have you met this question in a real interview?
Yes
Example
insert("lintcode")
search("code")
>>> false
startsWith("lint")
>>> true
startsWith("linterror")
>>> false
insert("linterror")
search("lintcode)
>>> true
startsWith("linterror")
>>> true
/**
* Your Trie object will be instantiated and called as such:
* Trie trie;
* trie.insert("lintcode");
* trie.search("lint"); will return false
* trie.startsWith("lint"); will return true
*/
