力扣简单题,其中的几行不会

class Solution {
    public String longestCommonPrefix(String[] strs) {
        if (strs == null || strs.length == 0) {
            return "";
        } else {
            return longestCommonPrefix(strs, 0, strs.length - 1);
        }
    }

    public String longestCommonPrefix(String[] strs, int start, int end) {
        if (start == end) {
            return strs[start];
        } else {                   //就是else里的这几行不会
            int mid = (end - start) / 2 + start;
            String lcpLeft = longestCommonPrefix(strs, start, mid);
            String lcpRight = longestCommonPrefix(strs, mid + 1, end);
            return commonPrefix(lcpLeft, lcpRight);
        }
    }

    public String commonPrefix(String lcpLeft, String lcpRight) {
        int minLength = Math.min(lcpLeft.length(), lcpRight.length());       
        for (int i = 0; i < minLength; i++) {
            if (lcpLeft.charAt(i) != lcpRight.charAt(i)) {
                return lcpLeft.substring(0, i);
            }
        }
        return lcpLeft.substring(0, minLength);
    }
}


那个就是分治求每个小部分的最长前缀,再求这些前缀的公共前缀。例如我输入abc、abd、ace、acf,那我就分前后两部分,先看abc、abd的公共前缀是ab,ace、acf的是ac,再求ab和ac的公共前缀,是a
