300. Longest Increasing Subsequence

Medium

Given an integer array nums, return the length of the longest strictly increasing subsequence.

A subsequence is a sequence that can be derived from an array by deleting some or no elements without changing the order of the remaining elements. For example, [3,6,2,7] is a subsequence of the array [0,3,1,6,2,2,7].

Example 1:

Input: nums = [10,9,2,5,3,7,101,18]

Output: 4

Explanation: The longest increasing subsequence is [2,3,7,101], therefore the length is 4.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [0,1,0,3,2,3]

Output: 4

Example 3:

Input: nums = [7,7,7,7,7,7,7]

Output: 1

Follow up: Can you come up with an algorithm that runs in O(n log(n)) time complexity?

Solution

/**
 * @param {number[]} nums
 * @return {number}
 */
var lengthOfLIS = function (nums) {
    const dp = []
    for (let num of nums) {
        let start = 0
        let end = dp.length
        while (start < end) {
            const mid = Math.floor((start + end) / 2)
            if (dp[mid] < num) {
                start = mid + 1
            } else {
                end = mid
            }
        }
        dp[start] = num
    }
    return dp.length
};

export { lengthOfLIS }
