1143. Longest Common Subsequence

Medium

Given two strings text1 and text2, return the length of their longest common subsequence. If there is no common subsequence, return 0.

A subsequence of a string is a new string generated from the original string with some characters (can be none) deleted without changing the relative order of the remaining characters.

A common subsequence of two strings is a subsequence that is common to both strings.

Example 1:

Input: text1 = “abcde”, text2 = “ace”

Output: 3

Explanation: The longest common subsequence is “ace” and its length is 3.

Example 2:

Input: text1 = “abc”, text2 = “abc”

Output: 3

Explanation: The longest common subsequence is “abc” and its length is 3.

Example 3:

Input: text1 = “abc”, text2 = “def”

Output: 0

Explanation: There is no such common subsequence, so the result is 0.

Solution

class Solution {
  int longestCommonSubsequence(String text1, String text2) {
    int n = text1.length;
    int m = text2.length;
    List<List<int>> dp = List.generate(n + 1, (_) => List.filled(m + 1, 0));

    for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
      for (int j = 1; j <= m; j++) {
        if (text1[i - 1] == text2[j - 1]) {
          dp[i][j] = dp[i - 1][j - 1] + 1;
        } else {
          dp[i][j] = (dp[i - 1][j] > dp[i][j - 1]) ? dp[i - 1][j] : dp[i][j - 1];
        }
      }
    }

    return dp[n][m];
  }
