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.
- For example,
"ace"is a subsequence of"abcde".
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.
Constraints:
1 <= text1.length, text2.length <= 1000text1andtext2consist of only lowercase English characters.
Solution
class Solution:
def longestCommonSubsequence(self, text1: str, text2: str) -> int:
n = len(text1)
m = len(text2)
dp = [[0] * (m + 1) for _ in range(n + 1)]
for i in range(1, n + 1):
for j in range(1, m + 1):
if text1[i - 1] == text2[j - 1]:
dp[i][j] = dp[i - 1][j - 1] + 1
else:
dp[i][j] = max(dp[i - 1][j], dp[i][j - 1])
return dp[n][m]
