Please continue posting these videos. If possible do separate videos for each type of the algorithm

Hello, for the Search Suggestions System don't you think it's better this way:
def TypeSearch(products, search_word):
final = []
i=0
while(i<len(search_word)):
sw = search_word[0:i+1]
proposed_products = []
for product in products:
if(product.startswith(sw)):


proposed_products.sort()

else:

i+=1
print(final)

ty for the video btw!

Really nice video! Didn't come in with expectations of any good explanations since the video is 20min but covers 5 medium questions but to my surprise it very well did!

[ShahidNihal]

I didn't know we could custom sort!! Thanks for the video

[saraahmed]

Thank you so much!
Are these questions were asked during the OA or during the final interviews?

[ilmofmi]

cant you do the 4th most common question in O(n) using the select algorithm

[chiragbansal]

I almost went for a trie for the first one

[sathwikkatepally]

In the 3rd problem,

You sorted letter logs from index 1, and 0 if their contents are same. But the identifiers aren’t of length 1… right?

[MadHolms]

not even one problem related to DP, hmm, highly doubt Amazon won't ask DP questions :)
