Common Prefix Finder

Create a program to find the longest common prefix among a list of strings. Use a trie to efficiently search for the common prefix. If there is no common prefix, return 'No common prefix'. Input: The first line contains an integer N (1 <= N <= 10000), the number of strings. The next N lines each contain a single string (1 <= length <= 100). Output: Output the longest common prefix, or 'No common prefix' if none exists. Example: Input: 4 flower flow flight flour Output: fl
