| 1 | +<p>You are given two arrays with <strong>positive</strong> integers <code>arr1</code> and <code>arr2</code>.</p> |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +<p>A <strong>prefix</strong> of a positive integer is an integer formed by one or more of its digits, starting from its <strong>leftmost</strong> digit. For example, <code>123</code> is a prefix of the integer <code>12345</code>, while <code>234</code> is <strong>not</strong>.</p> |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +<p>A <strong>common prefix</strong> of two integers <code>a</code> and <code>b</code> is an integer <code>c</code>, such that <code>c</code> is a prefix of both <code>a</code> and <code>b</code>. For example, <code>5655359</code> and <code>56554</code> have common prefixes <code>565</code> and <code>5655</code> while <code>1223</code> and <code>43456</code> <strong>do not</strong> have a common prefix.</p> |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +<p>You need to find the length of the <strong>longest common prefix</strong> between all pairs of integers <code>(x, y)</code> such that <code>x</code> belongs to <code>arr1</code> and <code>y</code> belongs to <code>arr2</code>.</p> |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +<p>Return <em>the length of the <strong>longest</strong> common prefix among all pairs</em>.<em> If no common prefix exists among them</em>, <em>return</em> <code>0</code>.</p> |

| 13 | + |
| 14 | +<pre> |
| 15 | +<strong>Input:</strong> arr1 = [1,10,100], arr2 = [1000] |
| 16 | +<strong>Output:</strong> 3 |
| 17 | +<strong>Explanation:</strong> There are 3 pairs (arr1[i], arr2[j]): |
| 18 | +- The longest common prefix of (1, 1000) is 1. |
| 19 | +- The longest common prefix of (10, 1000) is 10. |
| 20 | +- The longest common prefix of (100, 1000) is 100. |
| 21 | +The longest common prefix is 100 with a length of 3. |

| 25 | + |
| 26 | +<pre> |
| 27 | +<strong>Input:</strong> arr1 = [1,2,3], arr2 = [4,4,4] |
| 28 | +<strong>Output:</strong> 0 |
| 29 | +<strong>Explanation:</strong> There exists no common prefix for any pair (arr1[i], arr2[j]), hence we return 0. |
| 30 | +Note that common prefixes between elements of the same array do not count. |
