原题

实现一个 Trie，包含 insert, search, 和 startsWith 这三个方法。

样例

insert("lintcode")
search("code") # return false
startsWith("lint") # return true
startsWith("linterror") # return false
insert("linterror")
search("lintcode) # return true
startsWith("linterror") # return true

解题思路

• 首先，定义一个trie树节点，包含当前的char和isWord布尔值
• 注意根节点不包含字符，每个节点最多有26叉
• Insert - 即遍历单词的每个字符，逐层查找，有则继续，没有就创建一个新的TrieNode，左后一位IsWord = True
• Search - 同理，遍历单词每个字符，逐层查找，没有立即返回False，找到最后一个TrieNode，则返回 TrieNode.IsWord

        self.IsWord = False
