How many distinct substrings does a given string S have?

For example, if S = abc, S has 7 distinct substrings: , a, b, c, ab, bc, abc. Note that the empty string and S itself are considered substrings of S.

On the other hand, if S = aaa. S has only 4 distinct substrings: , a, aa, aaa.

Input Specification

The first line of the input file contains N, the number of test cases. For each test case, a line follows giving S, a string of from 1 to 5000 alphanumeric characters.

Output Specification

Your output consists of one line per case, giving the number of distinct substrings of S.

Grading

50% of test cases will have l (the length of the string) where l \le 1000. For all cases, l \le 5000.

Sample Input

2
abc
aaa

Output for Sample Input

7
4

    Last test case is actually the same string repeated multiple times, so a sub-optimal solution can pass by using a cache. I discovered this by looking at the output, not by finding the actual test case

    A new test case has been added and all submissions have been rejudged.

    Are the test strings only alphabetical or do they contain other characters? Is it safe to assume only ASCII characters are used?

      A string of from 1 to 5000 alphanumeric characters.

      Reread the input specification.

    I don't think it was supposed to happen, but I just completely brute forced it... (https://dmoj.ca/submission/1661542) Now may I have some tips on how to not be stupid and do it properly?

      Since you solved the problem you can view all the solutions to this problem, you could go to "Best submissions" and find the most readable code and try to understand it, or like someone in the comments mentioned google Suffix Tree.

    What are the constraints on N?

      1 \le N \le 5

      N is a real number.

        When you get WA on a case and notice that n is -5i+0.85

    Any tips to optimize the code? test case 3/6/7 are >1 second for me.

      Your algorithm is brute force with a worst-case complexity of \mathcal{O}(N^4). There are faster algorithms to solve this (like Suffix Tree).
