+Purpose: This problem was asked by Twitter.
+    Implement an autocomplete system. That is, given a query string s
+    and a set of all possible query strings, return all strings in the
+    set that have s as a prefix.
+Example: Given the query string de and the set of strings [dog, deer, deal],
+    return [deer, deal]
+Hint: Try pre-processing the dictionary into a more efficient data structure
+    to speed up queries
