Trie – Theory

Alright, let’s dive into the theory behind Tries! Don’t worry, it’s not as scary as it sounds. Think of a Trie as a super-efficient tree-like data structure, specifically designed for storing and retrieving strings (or other sequences). We’ll explore how its clever structure allows for incredibly fast lookups, insertions, and even prefix searches – getting ready to unlock some seriously impressive performance boosts!
