14. Longest Common Prefix | Optimal Approach #leetcode

14. Longest Common Prefix [Easy] https://leetcode.com/problems/longest-common-prefix Video Chapters: 00:00: Video Content Intro Algorithm Steps: 1. Initialization: Start with an empty results list and set character index to zero. 2. Character Comparison: For each character index, compare that character across all strings. 3. Mismatch Handling: If a mismatch is found or if one string ends, return the collected characters as the longest common prefix. 4. Completion: If all characters match up to the length of the shortest string, return those characters as the result. This method efficiently finds the longest common prefix by comparing characters one by one across all input strings until it can no longer do so. Complexity Analysis: Total Time: O(M*N), where “N” is the number of strings and “M” is the length of the shortest string Total Space: O(M), where  “M” is the length of the shortest string Link to the code: https://github.com/codewonkamentor/LeetCodeChannel #leetcode #leetcodecoding #leetcodesolution #optimalsolution #education #codinglife #faang #interview #interviewquestions #coding #programming #codinginterview
