You are given an array arr of size n consisting of non-empty strings.

\n\n

Find a string array answer of size n such that:

\n\n\n\n

Return the array answer.

\n\n

Example 1:

\n\n
\nInput: arr = ["cab","ad","bad","c"]\nOutput: ["ab","","ba",""]\nExplanation: We have the following:\n- For the string "cab", the shortest substring that does not occur in any other string is either "ca" or "ab", we choose the lexicographically smaller substring, which is "ab".\n- For the string "ad", there is no substring that does not occur in any other string.\n- For the string "bad", the shortest substring that does not occur in any other string is "ba".\n- For the string "c", there is no substring that does not occur in any other string.\n
\n\n

Example 2:

\n\n
\nInput: arr = ["abc","bcd","abcd"]\nOutput: ["","","abcd"]\nExplanation: We have the following:\n- For the string "abc", there is no substring that does not occur in any other string.\n- For the string "bcd", there is no substring that does not occur in any other string.\n- For the string "abcd", the shortest substring that does not occur in any other string is "abcd".\n
