Trie Operations

Prefix tree operations showcasing branching and shared-prefix structure.

Easy Explanation

Trie operations store words by shared prefixes, making prefix searches and autocomplete efficient.

Trie Operations Implementation
Pseudocode + TypeScript
Reference implementation examples are intentionally abstracted from the playback engine so learners can map concepts to code.
pseudocode
function insert(root, word):
  node <- root
  for each char in word:
    if char not in node.children:
      node.children[char] <- new TrieNode()
    node <- node.children[char]
  node.isTerminal <- true

function search(root, word):
  node <- root
  for each char in word:
    if char not in node.children:
      return false
    node <- node.children[char]
  return node.isTerminal

function startsWith(root, prefix):
  node <- root
  for each char in prefix:
    if char not in node.children:
      return false
    node <- node.children[char]
  return true
