astrie 1.2

Getting Started

To get started with using the astrie package, follow these steps:

1. Installation

   Install the package using pip:

   pip install astrie
   

2. Importing

   Import the AsTrie class from the astrie module:

   from astrie import AsTrie
   

3. Object Initialization

   Initialize an instance of the AsTrie class:

   trie = AsTrie()
   

Methods

Adding Words

To add words to the trie, you can use the following methods:

• To add a single word:

  trie.add("Python")
  

• To add a list of words at once:

  word_list = ["pineapple", "butterfly", "adventure", "rainbow", "whisper",
      "enchantment", "tranquility", "galaxy", "serendipity", "blossom",
      "chocolate", "meadow", "firefly", "symphony", "serenade",
      "moonlight", "horizon", "oasis", "velvet", "reflection",
      "sunrise", "wonder", "starlight", "cascade", "mystic",
      "melody", "twilight", "radiant", "journey", "destiny",
      "harmony", "peaceful", "embrace", "shimmer", "gentle",
      "serene", "dreamer", "captivate", "inspire", "tranquility",
      "cherish", "ethereal", "wanderlust", "cherished", "radiant",
      "adventure", "captivate", "radiant", "enjoy", "serenity","Python","Hello","World"]
      
  trie.add_many(word_list)
  

Removing Words

To remove words from the trie, you can use these methods:

• To remove a single word:

  trie.remove("Python")
  

• To remove a list of words:

  trie.remove_many(["Hello", "World"])
  

• To empty the trie:

  trie.clear()
  

Checking and Counting

You can perform various checks and obtain counts using these methods:

• To check if a word exists in the trie:

  exists = trie.has("horizon")
  print(exists)
  
  >>> True
  

• To check if there are words that start with a given prefix:

  starts_with = trie.starts_with("ad")
  print(starts_with)
  
  >>> True
  

• To get the count of words that start with a prefix:

  starts_with_count = trie.starts_with_count("ad")
  print(starts_with_count)
  
  >>> 2
  

• To get the count of words equal to a given word:

  count_equals = trie.count_equals("adventure")
  print(count_equals)
  
  >>> 2
  

• To get the count of unique words in the trie:

  unique_count = trie.unique_count()
  print(unique_count)
  
  >>> 48
  

Retrieving Words

You can retrieve words using these methods:

• To get a generator object for all words in the trie:

  all_words_generator = trie.all_words()
  for word in all_words_generator:
      print(word)
  
  >>> 
  pineapple
  butterfly
  adventure
  ...
  World
  

• To get a generator object for words that start with a prefix:

  starts_with_generator = trie.words_starts_with("m")
  for word in starts_with_generator :
      print(word)
  >>>
  meadow
  melody
  moonlight
  mystic
  

Remember that for generator objects, you need to iterate over them to access the actual words they yield.

Note: This trie only works on alphabetical characters. If you want to use intergers typecast them into string before adding them to the trie.
