Trie-Based Auto-Completion System

You are tasked with implementing a basic auto-completion system using a trie. The system should support inserting words and fetching possible completions for a given prefix. Your program should first read an integer N, the number of words to insert into the trie. Then read N words, each on a new line. After that, read an integer Q, the number of prefix queries. For each of the next Q lines, read a prefix string. For each prefix, output a list of all words in the trie that start with that prefix, in lexicographical order. If there are no matching words, output "[]". Input Format: - The first line contains an integer N (1 ≤ N ≤ 1000) - The next N lines contain strings representing the words (1 ≤ length ≤ 100) - The next line contains an integer Q (1 ≤ Q ≤ 100) - The next Q lines contain strings representing the prefixes (1 ≤ length ≤ 100) Output Format: - For each prefix query, output the corresponding list of words (or "[]" if none) in a new line. Example: Input: 5 apple appetite banana bandana band 3 ap ban cat Output: [apple, appetite] [banana, bandana, band] []
