Longest Common Prefix (LeetCode)

Problem: Longest Common Prefix
Write a function to find the longest common prefix string amongst an array of strings.

class Solution {
public:
    string longestCommonPrefix(vector<string>& strs) {
        
        string longestPrefix="";
        int strsSize = strs.size();
        if(strsSize==0) return longestPrefix;
        if(strsSize==1) return strs[0];
        
        int shortestStringLength = strs[0].size();
        for(int i=1;i<strsSize;i++)
            if(shortestStringLength>strs[i].size())
                shortestStringLength = strs[i].size();
            
        for(int i=0;i<shortestStringLength;i++)
        {
            for(int j=1;j<strsSize;j++)
                if(strs[j][i]!=strs[j-1][i])
                    return longestPrefix;
            longestPrefix+=strs[0][i];
        }
        return longestPrefix;
    }
};
