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

function longestCommonSubsequence(text1: string, text2: string): number {
    const n: number = text1.length
    const m: number = text2.length
    const dp: number[][] = new Array(n + 1).fill(null).map(() => new Array(m + 1).fill(0))
    for (let i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
        for (let j = 1; j <= m; j++) {
            if (text1.charAt(i - 1) === text2.charAt(j - 1)) {
                dp[i][j] = dp[i - 1][j - 1] + 1
            } else {
                dp[i][j] = Math.max(dp[i - 1][j], dp[i][j - 1])
            }
        }
    }
    return dp[n][m]
}
