    648 - Replace Words.

    Medium

    In English, we have a concept called root , which can be followed by some other word to form another longer word - let's call this word successor. For example, when the root "an" is followed by the successor word "other", we can form a new word "another".

    Given a dictionary consisting of many roots and a sentence consisting of words separated by spaces, replace all the successors in the sentence with the root forming it. If a successor can be replaced by more than one root , replace it with the root that has the shortest length.

    Return the sentence after the replacement.

    Example 1:

    Input: dictionary = "cat","bat","rat", sentence = "the cattle was rattled by the battery"

    Output: "the cat was rat by the bat"

    Example 2:

    Input: dictionary = "a","b","c", sentence = "aadsfasf absbs bbab cadsfafs"

    Output: "a a b c"

    Constraints:

    • 1 <= dictionary.length <= 1000

    • 1 <= dictionary[i].length <= 100

    • dictionary[i] consists of only lower-case letters.

    • <code>1 <= sentence.length <= 10<sup>6</sup></code>

    • sentence consists of only lower-case letters and spaces.

    • The number of words in sentence is in the range [1, 1000]

    • The length of each word in sentence is in the range [1, 1000]

    • Every two consecutive words in sentence will be separated by exactly one space.

    • sentence does not have leading or trailing spaces.
