Count occurrences of strings formed using words in another string

Last Updated : 24 Jan, 2022

Given a string A and a vector of strings B, the task is to count the number of strings in vector B that only contains the words from A.

Examples:

Input: A="blue green red yellow"
B[]={"blue red", "green pink", "yellow green"}
Output: 2

Input: A="apple banana pear"
B[]={"apple", "banana apple", "pear banana"}
Output: 3

Approach: Follow the below steps to solve this problem:

Extract all the words of string A and store them in a set, say st.
Now traverse on each string in vector B, and get all the words in that string.
Now check that if all words are present in st, then increment ans by 1.
Return ans as the solution to the problem.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ code for the above approach

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

// Function to extract all words from a string
vector<string> getWords(string A)
{
    vector<string> words;
    string t;
    for (int i = 0; i < A.size(); i++) {

        // If the character is a space
        if (A[i] == ' ') {
            if (t.size() > 0) {
                words.push_back(t);
            }
            t = "";
        }

        // Else
        else {
            t += A[i];
        }
    }

    // Last word
    if (t.size() > 0) {
        words.push_back(t);
    }

    return words;
}

// Function to count the number of strings in B
// that only contains the words from A
int countStrings(string A, vector<string>& B)
{

    unordered_set<string> st;

    vector<string> words;
    words = getWords(A);

    for (auto x : words) {
        st.insert(x);
    }

    // Variable to store the final answer
    int ans = 0;
    for (auto x : B) {
        words = getWords(x);
        bool flag = 0;
        for (auto y : words) {
            if (st.find(y) == st.end()) {
                flag = 1;
                break;
            }
        }

        // If all the words are in set st
        if (!flag) {
            ans++;
        }
    }

    return ans;
}

// Driver Code
int main()
{
    string A = "blue green red yellow";
    vector<string> B = { "blue red", "green pink", "yellow green" };

    cout << countStrings(A, B);
}

    for (int i = 0; i < A.length(); i++) {

      // If the character is a space
      if (A.charAt(i) == ' ') {
        if (t.length() > 0) {
          words.add(t);
        }
        t = "";
      }

      // Else
      else {

      }
    }

    for (String x : words) {

    }

    // Variable to store the final answer
    int ans = 0;
    for (String x : B) {

      boolean flag = false;
