Problem
You are given two arrays with positive integers arr1
and arr2
.
A prefix of a positive integer is an integer formed by one or more of its digits, starting from its leftmost digit. For example, 123
is a prefix of the integer 12345
, while 234
is not.
A common prefix of two integers a
and b
is an integer c
, such that c
is a prefix of both a
and b
. For example, 5655359
and 56554
have a common prefix 565
while 1223
and 43456
do not have a common prefix.
You need to find the length of the longest common prefix between all pairs of integers (x, y)
such that x
belongs to arr1
and y
belongs to arr2
.
Return the length of the longest common prefix among all pairs. If no common prefix exists among them, return 0
.
Example 1:
Input: arr1 = [1,10,100], arr2 = [1000] Output: 3 Explanation: There are 3 pairs (arr1[i], arr2[j]): - The longest common prefix of (1, 1000) is 1. - The longest common prefix of (10, 1000) is 10. - The longest common prefix of (100, 1000) is 100. The longest common prefix is 100 with a length of 3.
Example 2:
Input: arr1 = [1,2,3], arr2 = [4,4,4] Output: 0 Explanation: There exists no common prefix for any pair (arr1[i], arr2[j]), hence we return 0. Note that common prefixes between elements of the same array do not count.
Constraints:
1 <= arr1.length, arr2.length <= 5 * 104
1 <= arr1[i], arr2[i] <= 108
