[PYTHON] Let Code Day47 Starting from Zero "14. Longest Common Prefix"

Overview

It seems that coding tests are conducted overseas in interviews with engineers, and in many cases, the main thing is to implement specific functions and classes according to the theme.

As a countermeasure, it seems that a site called Let Code will take measures.

A site that trains algorithmic power that can withstand coding tests that are often done in the home.

I think it's better to have the algorithm power of a human being, so I'll solve the problem irregularly and write down the method I thought at that time as a memo.

Twitter I'm doing it.

problem

14. Longest Common Prefix

The difficulty level is Easy. It may not be so difficult because it is a problem solved like a chopstick rest.

The problem is to design a function that returns the longest intersection of each string in a given array of strings. If there is nothing in common, it returns " ".

Input: ["flower","flow","flight"] Output: "fl" Example 2:

Input: ["dog","racecar","car"] Output: "" Explanation: There is no common prefix among the input strings.

solution

class Solution:
    def longestCommonPrefix(self, strs: List[str]) -> str:
        if not strs:
            return ""
        ans = ""
        for num in zip(*strs):
            if len(set(num)) == 1:
               ans += num[0] 
            else:
                return ans
        return ans
# Runtime: 32 ms, faster than 74.42% of Python3 online submissions for Longest Common Prefix.
# Memory Usage: 14.1 MB, less than 22.07% of Python3 online submissions for Longest Common Prefix

I solved it using the zip function. It wasn't that difficult because it was easy, but it was fun as a head exercise, so I recommend you to try it.

~~ There is nothing special to explain ... ~~

Then it's a matter of chopstick rest, so this time it's up to here. Thank you for your hard work.
