| The word trie is an inflix of the word "re**trie**val", because the trie can find a single word in a dictionary with only a prefix of the word. | ||
| Trie is an efficient data retrieval data structure, using trie, search complexities can be brought to an optimal limit, i.e. length of the string. | ||
| It is a multi-way tree structure useful for storing strings over an alphabet. |

+ It is a multi-way tree structure, useful for storing strings over an alphabet, when we are storing them.

@alayek @koustuvsinha, please take a look 🎉 |
| ## What is a trie? | ||
|
|
||
| A trie is a tree like data structure which stores strings, and helps you find the data associated with that string using the prefix of the string. | ||
| For example, say you plan on building a dictionary to store strings along with their meanings. You must be wondering why can't I simply use a hash table, to get the information. |

Reference hash table : the existing article Hash-Tables-and-Hashing Functions.md
For referencing, just add [hash table](the filename), no need to give exact paths, it will be picked up relatively.

| Yes, you obviously can get information using a hash table, but, the [hash tables](Hash-Tables-And-Hashing-Functions.md) can only find data where the string exactly matches the one we've added. But trie will give us the capability to find strings with common prefixes, a missing character etc in lesser time, in comparison to a hash table. |
