LeetCode 411: Minimum Unique Word Abbreviation

Posted 2020-10-10 keepshuatishuati

Note: This solution is combined with Trie + Generialized Abbreviation:

1. Since it looks for smallest one, we need persist a string to find minimum length.

2. Lots of mistakes:

                                index not moving (index++)

                                index is messed up. (s.charAt(index) - ‘a‘)

                                data is not intialized.
