Design a data structure that will be initialized with a string array, and then it should answer queries of the shortest distance between two different strings from the array.
Implement the WordDistance class:
WordDistance(String[] wordsDict) initializes the object with the strings array wordsDict.int shortest(String word1, String word2) returns the shortest distance between word1 and word2 in the array wordsDict.
Example 1:
Input
["WordDistance", "shortest", "shortest"]
[[["practice", "makes", "perfect", "coding", "makes"]], ["coding", "practice"], ["makes", "coding"]]
Output
[null, 3, 1]
Explanation
WordDistance wordDistance = new WordDistance(["practice", "makes", "perfect", "coding", "makes"]);
wordDistance.shortest("coding", "practice"); // return 3
wordDistance.shortest("makes", "coding"); // return 1
Constraints:
1 <= wordsDict.length <= 3 * 1041 <= wordsDict[i].length <= 10wordsDict[i] consists of lowercase English letters.word1 and word2 are in wordsDict.word1 != word25000 calls will be made to shortest.
