因为我暂时没学算法，导致做这个题目时，程序超时，以下是题目：
Description：
We know that if a phone number A is another phone number B’s prefix, B is not able to be called. For an example, A is 123 while B is 12345, after pressing 123, we call A, and not able to call B.
Given N phone numbers, your task is to find whether there exits two numbers A and B that A is B’s prefix.

Input：
The input consists of several test cases.
The first line of input in each test case contains one integer N (0<N<1001), represent the number of phone numbers.
The next line contains N integers, describing the phone numbers.
The last case is followed by a line containing one zero.

Output：
For each test case, if there exits a phone number that cannot be called, print “NO”, otherwise print “YES” instead.

Sample Input：
2
012
012345
2
12
012345
0

Sample Output：
NO
YES

这是我原版代码：
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
int main(void)
{
    int  a,i, j, k, h = 0;
    first:while (scanf("%d", &a),a!=0)
    {
        
        char pnumber[a][20];
        for (i = 0; i < a; i++)
            gets(pnumber[i]);
        for (i = 0; i < a-1; i++)
            for (j = i + 1; j < a; j++)
            {
                k = 0;
                while (pnumber[i][k] == pnumber[j][k] && h < strlen(pnumber[i]))
                {
                    k++;
                    h++;
                }
                if (h == strlen(pnumber[i]))
                {
                    printf("NO");
                    goto first;
                }
            }
        printf("YES");
    }
    return 0;
}
但是算法很烂，时间太久

求解

char pnumber[a][20];

我不记得这样写是不是可以的了，但是编译器貌似不能编译。

建议这样用：

char *pnumber[20];
