java Getting a list of words from a Trie
- by adam08
I'm looking to use the following code to not check whether there is a word matching in the Trie but to return a list all words beginning with the prefix inputted by the user. Can someone point me in the right direction? I can't get it working at all.....
public boolean search(String s)
{
Node current = root;
System.out.println("\nSearching for string: "+s);
while(current != null)
{
for(int i=0;i<s.length();i++)
{
if(current.child[(int)(s.charAt(i)-'a')] == null)
{
System.out.println("Cannot find string: "+s);
return false;
}
else
{
current = current.child[(int)(s.charAt(i)-'a')];
System.out.println("Found character: "+ current.content);
}
}
// If we are here, the string exists.
// But to ensure unwanted substrings are not found:
if (current.marker == true)
{
System.out.println("Found string: "+s);
return true;
}
else
{
System.out.println("Cannot find string: "+s +"(only present as a substring)");
return false;
}
}
return false;
}
}
