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: strs = ["flower","flow","flight"]
Output: "fl"
Example 2:
Input: strs = ["dog","racecar","car"]
Output: ""
Explanation: There is no common prefix among the input strings.
Constraints:
0 <= strs.length <= 200
0 <= strs[i].length <= 200
strs[i]
consists of only lower-case English letters.
public class Solution {
public string LongestCommonPrefix(string[] strs) {
if(strs.Length == 0){
return "";
}
if(strs.Length == 1){
return strs[0];
}
var start = strs[0];
var strsArray = strs.Select(s => s.ToCharArray()).ToArray();
var output = "";
for(int i =0; i< start.Length; i++){
for(int j = 1; j < strsArray.Length; j++){
if(strsArray[j].Length - 1 < i || start[i] != strsArray[j][i]){
return output;
}
}
output += start[i];
}
return output;
}
}
