14. Longest Common Prefix
Easy
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:
1 <= strs.length <= 2000 <= strs[i].length <= 200strs[i]consists of only lowercase English letters.
因為題目要求的是字串陣列中每個字串共同最長的前綴，所以這個前綴最長也只會和最短的字串一樣長。
解法就是：找出最短的字，接著遞迴它的字元與陣列中其他字串相同位置的字元，比較是否相同。

func longestCommonPrefix(strs []string) string {
shortest := strs[0]
for _, str := range(strs) {
if len(str) < len(shortest) {
shortest = str
}
}
for index, val := range(shortest) {
for _, str := range(strs) {
if rune(str[index])!=val {
return shortest[:index]
}
}
}
return shortest
}
