2292. Counting Words With a Given Prefix

Easy


You are given an array of strings words and a string pref.

Return the number of strings in words that contain pref as a prefix.

A prefix of a string s is any leading contiguous substring of s.

 

Example 1:

Input: words = ["pay","attention","practice","attend"], pref = "at"
Output: 2
Explanation: The 2 strings that contain "at" as a prefix are: "attention" and "attend".

Example 2:

Input: words = ["leetcode","win","loops","success"], pref = "code"
Output: 0
Explanation: There are no strings that contain "code" as a prefix.

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= words.length <= 100
  • 1 <= words[i].length, pref.length <= 100
  • words[i] and pref consist of lowercase English letters.

Solution

class Solution {
    public int prefixCount(String[] words, String pref) {
        int n = words.length;
        int count = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
            if (words[i].startsWith(pref)) count++;
        }
        return count;
    }
}
