Longest Increasing Subsequence

Updated: Mar 25, 2021

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

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 2500

  • -104 <= nums[i] <= 104

Solution:


public class Solution {
    public int lengthOfLIS(int[] nums) {
        if (nums.length == 0) {
            return 0;
        }
        int[] dp = new int[nums.length];
        Arrays.fill(dp,1);
        int maxans = 1;
        for (int i = 0; i < dp.length; i++) {
            for (int j = 0; j < i; j++) {
                if (nums[i] > nums[j]) {
                    dp[i] = Math.max(dp[j]+1, dp[i]);
                }
            }
            maxans = Math.max(maxans, dp[i]);
        }
        return maxans;
    }
}

Smallest String With A Given Numeric Value

The numeric value of a lowercase character is defined as its position (1-indexed) in the alphabet, so the numeric value of a is 1, the numeric value of b is 2, the numeric value of c is 3, and so on.
