Medium
You are given an array
arrof sizenconsisting of non-empty strings.Find a string array
answerof sizensuch that:answer[i]is the shortest substring ofarr[i]that does not occur as a substring in any other string inarr. 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.length2 <= n <= 1001 <= arr[i].length <= 20arr[i]consists only of lowercase English letters.
