Longest Common Subsequence

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
Inputtext1 = "abcde", text2 = "ace"
Output3
The longest common subsequence is "ace" and its length is 3.
Example 2
Inputtext1 = "abc", text2 = "abc"
Output3
The longest common subsequence is "abc" and its length is 3.

Constraints

  • 1 <= text1.length, text2.length <= 1000
  • text1 and text2 consist of only lowercase English characters.
