To store English words, one method is to use linked lists and store a word letter by letter. To save some space, we may let the words share the same sublist if they share the same suffix. For example, loading and being are stored as showed in Figure 1.

Figure 1
You are supposed to find the starting position of the common suffix (e.g. the position of i in Figure 1).
Input Specification:
Each input file contains one test case. For each case, the first line contains two addresses of nodes and a positive N (≤105), where the two addresses are the addresses of the first nodes of the two words, and N is the total number of nodes. The address of a node is a 5-digit positive integer, and NULL is represented by −1.
Then N lines follow, each describes a node in the format:
Address Data Next
whereAddress is the position of the node, Data is the letter contained by this node which is an English letter chosen from { a-z, A-Z }, and Next is the position of the next node.
Output Specification:
For each case, simply output the 5-digit starting position of the common suffix. If the two words have no common suffix, output -1 instead.
Sample Input 1:
11111 22222 9
67890 i 00002
00010 a 12345
00003 g -1
12345 D 67890
00002 n 00003
22222 B 23456
11111 L 00001
23456 e 67890
00001 o 00010
Sample Output 1:
67890
Sample Input 2:
00001 00002 4
00001 a 10001
10001 s -1
00002 a 10002
10002 t -1
Sample Output 2:
-1

for(int i=0;i<maxn;i++)

}
int s1,s2,n;
scanf("%d%d%d",&s1,&s2,&n);
int address,next;
char data;
//n个节点信息的输入
for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
{
scanf("%d %c %d",&address,&data,&next);
node[address].data=data;
node[address].next=next;
}
int p;
//第一条链表的所有节点的flag位置为true
for(p=s1;p!=-1;p=node[p].next)
{
node[p].flag=true;
}
//遍历第二条链表的全部节点,看其中是否有标志位为true的节点
for(p=s2;p!=-1;p=node[p].next)
{
if(node[p].flag==true) break;
}
if(p!=-1)
{
printf("%05d\n",p);
}
else
{
printf("-1\n",p);
}
return 0;
}

本文探讨了一种使用链表存储英文单词的方法,通过让具有相同后缀的单词共享子链表来节省空间。介绍了如何通过输入两个单词的节点地址和总节点数,找出它们共同后缀的起始位置,实现高效的空间利用。
