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 <= 1000
text1
andtext2
consist of only lowercase English characters.

# space compleixty: O(n*m)

def longestCommonSubsequence(self, text1: str, text2: str) -> int:

for col in reversed(range(len(text2))):
for row in reversed(range(len(text1))):
if text2[col] == text1[row]:
dpGrid[row][col] = 1 + dpGrid[row+1][col+1]
else:
dpGrid[row][col] = max(
dpGrid[row+1][col], dpGrid[row][col+1])
return dpGrid[0][0]
text1 = "abcde"
text2 = "ace"
