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:

Output: "fl"
Example 2:

Input: strs = ["dog","racecar","car"]
Output: ""
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 lowercase English letters.

public class LongestCommonPrefix {
  public String longestCommonPrefix(String[] strs) {
    if (strs.length == 0)
      return "";

    for (int i = 0; i < strs[0].length(); i++)
      for (int j = 1; j < strs.length; j++)
        if (i == strs[j].length() || strs[j].charAt(i) != strs[0].charAt(i))
          return strs[0].substring(0, i);

    return strs[0];
  }
