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

Solution

impl Solution {
    pub fn length_of_lis(nums: Vec<i32>) -> i32 {
        if nums.is_empty() {
            return 0;
        }

        let mut dp = vec![i32::MAX; nums.len() + 1];
        let (mut left, mut right) = (1, 1);

        for &curr in nums.iter() {
            let (mut start, mut end) = (left, right);

            // Binary search to find the position to update
            while start + 1 < end {
                let mid = start + (end - start) / 2;
                if dp[mid as usize] > curr {
                    end = mid;
                } else {
                    start = mid;
                }
            }

            // Update the dp array
            if dp[start as usize] > curr {
                dp[start as usize] = curr;
            } else if curr > dp[start as usize] && curr < dp[end as usize] {
                dp[end as usize] = curr;
            } else if curr > dp[end as usize] {
                dp[end as usize + 1] = curr;
                right += 1;
            }
        }
