Polycarpus has n friends in Tarasov city. Polycarpus knows phone numbers of all his friends: they are strings s1, s2, ..., sn. All these strings consist only of digits and have the same length.
Once Polycarpus needed to figure out Tarasov city phone code. He assumed that the phone code of the city is the longest common prefix of all phone numbers of his friends. In other words, it is the longest string c which is a prefix (the beginning) of each si for all i (1 ≤ i ≤ n). Help Polycarpus determine the length of the city phone code.
The first line of the input contains an integer n (2 ≤ n ≤ 3·104) — the number of Polycarpus's friends. The following n lines contain strings s1, s2, ..., sn — the phone numbers of Polycarpus's friends. It is guaranteed that all strings consist only of digits and have the same length from 1 to 20, inclusive. It is also guaranteed that all strings are different.
Print the number of digits in the city phone code.

A prefix of string t is a string that is obtained by deleting zero or more digits from the end of string t. For example, string "00209" has 6 prefixes: "" (an empty prefix), "0", "00", "002", "0020", "00209".
In the first sample the city phone code is string "00".
In the second sample the city phone code is an empty string.
In the third sample the city phone code is string "770123456789".
解题说明:此题的意思是求一组字符串的最长公共前缀,题目中说明用暴力的算法来做。只需要每次取第一个字符串的前pos个字符构成一个新的前缀字符串,然后循环即可。这里用到strncmp函数,目的是比较两个字符串的前n个字符。
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdio>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <cmath>
#include <cstring>
#include <string>
#include <algorithm>
using namespace std;
char a[30001][21];
int main()
{
int n,i;
int max;
int k,pos;
char c[21];
scanf("%d",&n);
for(i=0;i<n;i++)
{
scanf("%s",&a[i]);
}
max=0;
pos=1;
while(1)
{
k=0;
for(i=0;i<pos;i++)
{
c[k++]=a[0][i];
}
c[k]='\0';
for(i=1;i<n;i++)
{
if(strncmp(c,a[i],pos)!=0)
{
break;
}
}
if(i==n)
{
max=pos;
pos++;
}
else
{
break;
}
}
printf("%d\n",max);
return 0;
}
