# 1143. Longest Common Subsequence

Question link is here.

Given an integer array nums and an integer k, return true if it is possible to divide this array into k non-empty subsets whose sums are all equal.

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.

# Solution

Too busy to write solution idea, just post solution.

class Solution {
    public int longestCommonSubsequence(String text1, String text2) {
        int n = text1.length(), m =  text2.length();
        int[][] f = new int[n + 1][m + 1];
        for (int i = 1; i <= n; ++i) {
            for (int j = 1; j <= m; ++j) {
                if (text1.charAt(i - 1) == text2.charAt(j - 1)) {
                    f[i][j] = f[i - 1][j - 1] + 1;
                } else {
                    f[i][j] = Math.max(f[i - 1][j], f[i][j - 1]);
                }
            }
        }
        return f[n][m];
    }
}
