Question

Build a prefix index for audit trail explorer. Support insert(term, weight), delete(term), and topPrefix(prefix) returning the best active term by weight then lexicographic order.

Input

A sequence of index operations.

Output

Return values for topPrefix operations.

Constraints

1 <= operations <= 200000
Total characters <= 1000000
Weights can change through reinsertion.

Concepts

workflow graphs
API pagination
cache invalidation
trie
prefix counts
autocomplete

insert pay 5, insert payout 7, topPrefix pa -> payout

Approach

Try framing your own approach first. The 30 seconds you think before peeking is where learning happens.

Clean Solution

Common Mistakes

Deletion is hard if nodes cache best child; use lazy invalidation or per-node heap when deletes are frequent.
Tie-break lexicographically for deterministic output.
