Implement a Prefix Search (Trie)

Problem

Design a dictionary supporting insert(word) and startsWith(prefix) for autocomplete.

Example

insert("car"); startsWith("ca") -> true; startsWith("cb") -> false

Constraints

  • Up to 10^5 words

Approach

Trie with children map; discuss memory vs a sorted-array binary search alternative.
