🔥 Day 25/100 of #100DaysOfCode Problem: Longest Common Prefix - Find the longest common prefix string amongst an array of strings. Solution: Used a clever sorting approach! By sorting the array lexicographically, the longest common prefix must be between the first and last strings in the sorted array. Then compared characters position by position until finding a mismatch. Key Insight: After sorting, the first and last strings represent the lexicographic extremes - any common prefix across ALL strings must be common between these two extremes! Result: O(n log n) time complexity due to sorting, but very clean and intuitive implementation using StringBuilder for efficient string building. Smart algorithmic thinking beats brute force every time! 💡 #100DaysOfCode #LeetCode #Java #Algorithms #StringManipulation #Coding #Programming
