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.
