Longest common suffix is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.
Task

The goal is to write a function to find the longest common suffix string amongst an array of strings.

REXX

Ring

<lang ring> load "stdlib.ring"

pre = ["baabababc","baabc","bbbabc"] len = len(pre) lenList = list(len) sub = list(len)

see "Input:" + nl see pre

for n = 1 to len

   temp = pre[n]
   pre[n] = rever(temp)

next

for n = 1 to len

   lenList[n] = len(pre[n])

next

lenList = sort(lenList) lenMax = lenList[1]

for m = 1 to lenMax

   check = 0 
   sub1 = substr(pre[1],1,m)
   sub2 = substr(pre[2],1,m) 
   sub3 = substr(pre[3],1,m)
   if sub1 = sub2 and sub2 = sub3
      check = 1
   ok
   if check = 1
      longest = m
   ok

next

longPrefix = substr(pre[1],1,longest) longPrefix = rever(longPrefix)

see "Longest common suffix = " + longPrefix + nl

func rever(cstr)

    cStr2 = ""
    for x = len(cStr) to 1 step -1 
        cStr2 = cStr2 + cStr[x]
    next
    return cStr2

</lang>

Output:
Input:
baabababc
baabc
bbbabc
Longest common suffix = abc
