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.
- 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 <= 1000text1andtext2consist of only lowercase English characters.
Solution
defmodule Solution do
@spec longest_common_subsequence(text1 :: String.t, text2 :: String.t) :: integer
def longest_common_subsequence(text1, text2) do
text1
|> String.myers_difference(text2)
|> Enum.reduce(0, fn
{:eq, chars}, acc -> acc + String.length(chars)
_, acc -> acc
end)
end
