Test Cases Aren't Broad Enough

Mike

Feb 27, 2024

The description & test cases create a little ambiguity where it would seem the use of a trie is overkill. For example, this code passes all test cases:

public int minExtraChar(String str, String[] dictionary) {         int count = 0;         for (String word : dictionary) {             count += word.length();         }         return str.length() - count;     }
