Algorithm Code

 Function of Longest_common_prefix () which string lcp(string array[], int low, int high)
take three arguments (array , starting and
ending index).
{
 When starting and ending index become equal if (low == high)
return (array[low]); // return the
the Recursion terminate , returning first and
array 0
only index of array.
if (high > low)
 If(endingindex>sarting index) {
 Mid= (starting index + ending index) / int mid = low + high// mid = strating +
2. ending /2
 Now recursion will be used.
 String1= Longest_common_prefix str1 = lcp(array, low, mid)
(array,startingindex,mid) str2 = lcp(array, mid + 1, high)
 String2= Longest_common_prefix (array, return (prefix(str1, str2));
mid+1, endingindex) }
 Using divide and conquer approach }
recursion call and store the array both
halves in two strings string 1 and
string 2.
 Function of prefix (), takes two
arguments, which return the common
Prefix in strings.
 String3 = prefix(string1, string2)
 Return string3

Algorithm:

 Loop(column = TotalBerries[0]; column <= limit; column++)

 Loop(row = 2; row <= TotalBerries; row++)

}
 Else
{
matrix[row][column] = matrix[row - 1][column];
}
}
