Problem Statement
You are given a 0-indexed array of strings words and a character x.
Return an array of indices representing the words that contain the character x.
Note that the returned array may be in any order.
Examples
Example 1:
Input: words = ["leet","code"], x = "e"
Output: [0,1]
Explanation: "e" occurs in both words: "leet", and "code". Hence, we return indices 0 and 1.
Example 2:
Input: words = ["abc","bcd","aaaa","cbc"], x = "a"
Output: [0,2]
Explanation: "a" occurs in "abc", and "aaaa". Hence, we return indices 0 and 2.
Example 3:
Input: words = ["abc","bcd","aaaa","cbc"], x = "z"
Output: []
Explanation: "z" does not occur in any of the words. Hence, we return an empty array.
Constraints
- 1 <= words.length <= 50
- 1 <= words[i].length <= 50
- x is a lowercase English letter.
- words[i] consists only of lowercase English letters.
Approaches
1️⃣ Nested Loop
Code:
vector<int> findWordsContaining(vector<string>& words, char x) {
vector<int> arr;
// Loop to iterate the word.
for(int i = 0; i < words.size(); i++){
string word = words[i];
// loop to iterate the character of the word.
for(int j = 0; j < word.size(); j++){
if(word[j] == x){
arr.push_back(i);
break;
}
}
}
return arr;
}
Complexity Analysis:
- Time Complexity:
O(n*m)
, wheren
is the number of words, andm
is the average length of words in the array. - Space Complexity:
O(n)
