1143. Longest Common Subsequence

中文文档

Description

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 and text2 consist of only lowercase English characters.

Solutions

Dynamic programming.

Python3

class Solution:
    def longestCommonSubsequence(self, text1: str, text2: str) -> int:
        m, n = len(text1), len(text2)
        dp = [[0] * (n + 1) for _ in range(m + 1)]
        for i in range(1, m + 1):
            for j in range(1, n + 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[-1][-1]

Java

class Solution {
    public int longestCommonSubsequence(String text1, String text2) {
        int m = text1.length(), n = text2.length();
        int[][] dp = new int[m + 1][n + 1];
        for (int i = 1; i <= m; ++i) {
            for (int j = 1; j <= n; ++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[m][n];
    }
}

C++

class Solution {
public:
    int longestCommonSubsequence(string text1, string text2) {
        int m = text1.size(), n = text2.size();
        vector<vector<int>> dp(m + 1, vector<int>(n + 1));
        for (int i = 1; i <= m; ++i)
        {
            for (int j = 1; j <= n; ++j)
            {
                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[m][n];
    }
};

Go

func longestCommonSubsequence(text1 string, text2 string) int {
	m, n := len(text1), len(text2)
	dp := make([][]int, m+1)
	for i := 0; i <= m; i++ {
		dp[i] = make([]int, n+1)
	}
	for i := 1; i <= m; i++ {
		for j := 1; j <= n; j++ {
			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[m][n]
}

func max(a, b int) int {
	if a > b {
		return a
	}
	return b
}
