I am solving the following problem:

Given T (T<=75) testcases . Each testcase consists of N (N<=10^4) strings and Q (Q<=10^4) queries. In each query you are given a number X.The task is to find the most common suffix of length X among the given strings and you need to print how common it is. Sum of length of all strings in a testcase is<=10^5.

Link to problem: http://codeforces.net/gym/101502/problem/G

E.g. Input :

1
5 4

abccba
abddba
xa
abdcba
aneverknow

1
2
4
3

Output:

4
3
1
2

I am inserting the given strings in a trie and storing a variable count in each node to find number of strings along the given path with suffix of length K. Now for all possible length of suffixes I am updating the ans[] array which stores the result for a given suffix of length K. and hence answering queries in O(1) but I am geting TLE. I am not able to optimize it further . How to solve this problem?? My code: https://ideone.com/fNAWjb

I approached it the same way and yeah, time limit is pretty tight. Try this:

#pragma GCC optimize("O3")
#pragma GCC optimize("expensive-optimizations")

Then I did some small optimizations and it passed after 779 ms.

Edit: It also passes without the above pragmas. You may implement the trie using simple array and don't re-initialize everything in each test case. Instead, keep track of the current test case and ignore trie entries from older test cases.

Do you need to answer the queries online?

Hmmm, my program passes within 217ms :D Solution

    Thanks for the reply. Mine passes within 436 ms. I missed the ios_sync statement . Can you please suggest some implementation or idea regarding the hashing of strings that is not affected by anti-hash test?? I read the blog on the same but was not able to find a convincing implementation.

I used hashing and unordered_map.It passed within 577 ms. My code

This is my code without hashings and maps, just easy trie )
