Sliding Window and Aho-Corasick

HardPython

Problem

Write a class to add and count events received in the last X seconds, and then determine if all words from a sentence are present in a paragraph.

Use nondecreasing timestamps and treat the window as inclusive: [timestamp - X, timestamp]. The grading function accepts event operations plus a sentence and paragraph, returning count results and a Boolean word-coverage result. Words are case-insensitive alphanumeric tokens, and repeated sentence words only need to appear once.

Constraints

  • 0 <= operations.length <= 5000
  • Operations are ordered by nondecreasing timestamp
  • Each timestamp is an integer or floating-point number
  • 0 <= window_seconds
  • Words are matched case-insensitively as alphanumeric tokens
  • Repeated words in the sentence are treated as one required word

Function Signature
