HackerEarth Shil and LCP Pairs problem solution

YASH PAL, 31 July 202414 February 2026
In this HackerEarth Shil and LCP Pairs problem solution Shil came across N strings – s1 , s2 , s3 .. sN . He wants to find out total number of unordered pairs (i, j) such that LCP(si , sj) = k. You have to do thi for every k in [0, L]. Here L = max ( len(si) ) and LCP denotes longest common prefix.
