👉 A trie (pronounced "trie") is a data structure used to store and retrieve words in an alphabetical order. It consists of nodes that can be linked together to form a tree-like structure, where each node represents a word, with keys and values stored as pointers to the next node.
The main components of a trie are:
-
Root Node
: This node is the root of the trie and contains all the words in alphabetical order. It stores the key-value pairs.
-
Child Nodes
