DSA Coding Problems (2024)

Section titled “DSA Coding Problems (2024)”

Question 1: Longest Common Subsequence

Section titled “Question 1: Longest Common Subsequence”
Q1: Given two strings text1 and text2, return the length of their longest common subsequence.

Example:

Input: text1 = "abcde", text2 = "ace"
Output: 3

Solution (Python):

def longestCommonSubsequence(text1, text2):
    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[m][n]

Time Complexity: O(m × n)
Space Complexity: O(m × n)
