Under the grammar given below, strings can represent a set of lowercase words. Let R(expr)
denote the set of words the expression represents.
The grammar can best be understood through simple examples:
R("a") = {"a"}
R("w") = {"w"}
R("{a,b,c}") = {"a","b","c"}
R("{{a,b},{b,c}}") = {"a","b","c"}
(notice the final set only contains each word at most once)R("{a,b}{c,d}") = {"ac","ad","bc","bd"}
R("a{b,c}{d,e}f{g,h}") = {"abdfg", "abdfh", "abefg", "abefh", "acdfg", "acdfh", "acefg", "acefh"}
Formally, the three rules for our grammar:
x
, we have R(x) = {x}
.e1, e2, ... , ek
with k >= 2
, we have R({e1, e2, ...}) = R(e1) ∪ R(e2) ∪ ...
e1
and e2
, we have R(e1 + e2) = {a + b for (a, b) in R(e1) × R(e2)}
, where +
denotes concatenation, and ×
denotes the cartesian product.Given an expression representing a set of words under the given grammar, return the sorted list of words that the expression represents.
Example 1:
Input: expression = "{a,b}{c,{d,e}}" Output: ["ac","ad","ae","bc","bd","be"]
Example 2:
Input: expression = "{{a,z},a{b,c},{ab,z}}" Output: ["a","ab","ac","z"] Explanation: Each distinct word is written only once in the final answer.
Constraints:
1 <= expression.length <= 60
expression[i]
consists of '{'
, '}'
, ','
or lowercase English letters.expression
represents a set of words based on the grammar given in the description.
