14. Longest Common Prefix
Write a function to find the longest common prefix string amongst an array of strings.
If there is no common prefix, return an empty string "".
Example 1:
Input: ["flower","flow","flight"]
Output: "fl"
Example 2:
Input: ["dog","racecar","car"]
Output: ""
Explanation: There is no common prefix among the input strings.
Note:
All given inputs are in lowercase letters a-z.
class Solution {
public String longestCommonPrefix(String[] strs) {
String result = "";
int i = 0;
out:while(strs.length > 0) {
if(i == strs[0].length()) break out;
char curr = strs[0].charAt(i);
for(String s : strs) {
if(i == s.length() || s.charAt(i) != curr) break out;
}
i++;
result += curr;
}
return result;
}
}
