    3076 - Shortest Uncommon Substring in an Array\.

    Medium

    You are given an array arr of size n consisting of non-empty strings.

    Find a string array answer of size n such that:

    • answer[i] is the shortest substring of arr[i] that does not occur as a substring in any other string in arr. If multiple such substrings exist, answer[i] should be the lexicographically smallest. And if no such substring exists, answer[i] should be an empty string.

    Return the array answer.

    Example 1:

    Input: arr = "cab","ad","bad","c"

    Output: "ab","","ba",""

    Explanation: We have the following:

    • For the string "cab", the shortest substring that does not occur in any other string is either "ca" or "ab", we choose the lexicographically smaller substring, which is "ab".

    • For the string "ad", there is no substring that does not occur in any other string.

    • For the string "bad", the shortest substring that does not occur in any other string is "ba".

    • For the string "c", there is no substring that does not occur in any other string.

    Example 2:

    Input: arr = "abc","bcd","abcd"

    Output: "","","abcd"

    Explanation: We have the following:

    • For the string "abc", there is no substring that does not occur in any other string.

    • For the string "bcd", there is no substring that does not occur in any other string.

    • For the string "abcd", the shortest substring that does not occur in any other string is "abcd".

    Constraints:

    • n == arr.length

    • 2 <= n <= 100

    • 1 <= arr[i].length <= 20

    • arr[i] consists only of lowercase English letters.
