Create a program or function which takes a list of strings as input, and outputs the longest string that is a substring of all input strings. If there are several substrings of equal length, and no longer substring, output any one of them.



  • This may mean outputting the empty string.

  • If there are several valid outputs, you may output any one of them. You are not required to give consistent outpput for a given input so long as the output is always valid.

  • There will always be at least one string in the input, but there might not be a non-empty string.

  • All printable ASCII characters may appear in the input. You may assume those are the only characters that appear.

  • You may take input or produce output by any of the default methods.


  • Standard loopholes aren't allowed.

  • This is code-golf - the fewer bytes of code, the better.

Test cases:



[Inputs] -> [Valid outputs (choose one)]



["hello", "'ello"] -> ["ello"]
["very", "much", "different"] -> [""]
["empty", "", "STRING"] -> [""]
["identical", "identical"] -> ["identical"]
["string", "stRIng"] -> ["st", "ng"]
["this one", "is a substring of this one"] -> ["this one"]
["just one"] -> ["just one"]
["", "", ""] -> [""]
["many outputs", "stuptuo ynam"] -> ["m", "a", "n", "y", " ", "o", "u", "t", "p", "s"]
["many inputs", "any inputs", "ny iii", "yanny"] -> ["ny"]
["%%not&", "ju&#st", "[&]alpha_numeric"] -> ["%"]

    Probably still golfable.
    y.indexOf must be used in place of y.search if the strings may contain special regex characters, at the cost of 1 more byte.

      Brachylog (v2), 3 bytes



      sᵛw


      Try it online!



      Full program. Input from standard input (as a JSON-style list of strings), output to standard output.



      Explanation



      sᵛw
      s Find a substring
      ᵛ of every element of the input; the same one for each
      w and output it.


      Tiebreak order here is set by the s, favouring the longest substring (the secondary tiebreak doesn't matter, but IIRC it's position within the first element of the input).



      Brachylog's s doesn't return empty substrings, so we need a bit of a trick to get around that: instead of making a function submission (which is what's normally done), we write a full program, outputting to standard output. That way, if there's a common substring, we just output it, and we're done. If there isn't a common substring, the program errors out – but it still prints nothing to standard output, thus it outputs the null string as intended.

                Not golfed it much yet but here's my Python 3 answer at 354 bytes:

                EDIT: Now 238 bytes with one space indents and some one-line iterators:

                EDIT: 193 bytes with max function

                EDIT: 189 bytes removed unnecessary list



                def a(b):
                a=();c=list(sum(list(list(d[f:e]for f in range(e))for e in range(len(d)+1)),[])for d in b)

                        Brachylog (v2), 3 bytes



                        sᵛw


                        Try it online!



                        Full program. Input from standard input (as a JSON-style list of strings), output to standard output.



                        Explanation



                        sᵛw
                        s Find a substring
                        ᵛ of every element of the input; the same one for each
                        w and output it.


                        Tiebreak order here is set by the s, favouring the longest substring (the secondary tiebreak doesn't matter, but IIRC it's position within the first element of the input).



                        Brachylog's s doesn't return empty substrings, so we need a bit of a trick to get around that: instead of making a function submission (which is what's normally done), we write a full program, outputting to standard output. That way, if there's a common substring, we just output it, and we're done. If there isn't a common substring, the program errors out – but it still prints nothing to standard output, thus it outputs the null string as intended.

                            Full program. Input from standard input (as a JSON-style list of strings), output to standard output.



                            Explanation



                            sᵛw
                            s Find a substring
                            ᵛ of every element of the input; the same one for each
                            w and output it.


                            Tiebreak order here is set by the s, favouring the longest substring (the secondary tiebreak doesn't matter, but IIRC it's position within the first element of the input).



                            Brachylog's s doesn't return empty substrings, so we need a bit of a trick to get around that: instead of making a function submission (which is what's normally done), we write a full program, outputting to standard output. That way, if there's a common substring, we just output it, and we're done. If there isn't a common substring, the program errors out – but it still prints nothing to standard output, thus it outputs the null string as intended.

                                If this is an answer to a challenge…



                                • …Be sure to follow the challenge specification. However, please refrain from exploiting obvious loopholes. Answers abusing any of the standard loopholes are considered invalid. If you think a specification is unclear or underspecified, comment on the question instead.


                                • …Try to optimize your score. For instance, answers to code-golf challenges should attempt to be as short as possible. You can always include a readable version of the code in addition to the competitive one.
                                  Explanations of your answer make it more interesting to read and are very much encouraged.


                                • …Include a short header which indicates the language(s) of your code and its score, as defined by the challenge.


                                More generally…



                                • …Please make sure to answer the question and provide sufficient detail.


                                • …Avoid asking for help, clarification or responding to other answers (use comments instead).
