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.
Solution
function longestCommonPrefix(arr) {
if (arr.length === 0) return ''
for (let i=0;i<arr[0].length;i++){
for (let item of arr){
if(item[i]!==arr[0][i]) return item.slice(0, i)
}
}
}
