Problem
Design a map that allows you to do the following:
- Maps a string key to a given value.
- Returns the sum of the values that have a key with a prefix equal to a given string.
Implement the MapSum class:
MapSum() Initializes the MapSum object.
void insert(String key, int val) Inserts the key-val pair into the map. If the key already existed, the original key-value pair will be overridden to the new one.
int sum(string prefix) Returns the sum of all the pairs’ value whose key starts with the prefix.
Examples
Explanation
Constraints
1 <= key.length, prefix.length <= 50
key and prefix consist of only lowercase English letters.
1 <= val <= 1000
- At most
50 calls will be made to insert and sum.
