Try this exercise. Fill in the missing part by typing it in.
The length of the longest common subsequence between s1
and s2
is ____.
Explanation:
The length of the longest common subsequence between two strings s1
and s2
can be calculated using dynamic programming.
By filling in a 2D matrix with the lengths of common subsequences for different prefixes of the two strings, we can find the length of the longest common subsequence.
The value at the bottom-right corner of the matrix represents the length of the longest common subsequence between s1
and s2
.
Example:
TEXT/X-JAVA
1String s1 = "algorithm";
2String s2 = "rhythm";
3
4int longestLength = longestCommonSubsequence(s1, s2);
5System.out.println("The length of the longest common subsequence is: " + longestLength);
In this example, we have two strings s1
and s2
, and we calculate the length of the longest common subsequence between them using the longestCommonSubsequence
method.
