class Trie:
    def __init__(self):
        self.children = [None] * 26
        self.cnt = 0

    def insert(self, w):
        node = self
        for c in w:
            i = ord(c) - ord('a')
            if node.children[i] is None:
                node.children[i] = Trie()
            node = node.children[i]
            node.cnt += 1

    def search(self, pref):
        node = self
        for c in pref:
            i = ord(c) - ord('a')
            if node.children[i] is None:
                return 0
            node = node.children[i]
        return node.cnt
