A string is called a happy prefix if is a non-empty prefix which is also a suffix (excluding itself).
Given a string s, return the longest happy prefix of s. Return an empty string "" if no such prefix exists.
Examples
Example 1
Input: s = "level"
Output: "l"
Explanation: s contains 4 prefix excluding itself ("l", "le", "lev", "leve"), and suffix ("l", "el", "vel", "evel"). The largest prefix which is also suffix is given by "l".
Example 2
Input: s = "ababab"
Output: "abab"
Explanation: "abab" is the largest prefix which is also suffix. They can overlap in the original string.
Constraints
1 <= s.length <= 105
s contains only lowercase English letters.
