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.
Example 3:
Input: strs = ["a"]
Output: "a"
Explanation: There is no common prefix among the input strings.
Constraints:
- 1 <= strs.length <= 200
- 0 <= strs[i].length <= 200
- strs[i] consists of only lower-case English letters.
class Solution(object):
def longestCommonPrefix(self, strs):
"""
:type strs: List[str]
:rtype: str
"""
prefix = ""
one = strs[0]
for i in range(0, len(one)):
for j in range(0, len(strs)):
if len(strs[j]) > i:
if one[i] != strs[j][i]:
return prefix
elif j == len(strs) - 1:
prefix = prefix + one[i]
else:
return prefix
return prefix
