Problem:
|
||
Given two sequences, find the length of longest subsequence present in both of them.
|
||
A subsequence is a sequence that appears in the same relative order, but not necessarily contiguous.
|
||
For example, “abc”, “abg”, “bdf”, “aeg”, ‘”acefg”, .. etc are subsequences of “abcdefg”
|
||
|
||
Our Solution:
|
||
We use recursion with tabular memoization.
|
||
Time complexity: O(M x N)
|
||
Solving each subproblem has a cost of O(1). Again, there are MxN subproblems,
|
||
and so we get a total time complexity of O(MxN).
|
||
Space complexity: O(M x N)
|
||
We need to store the answer for each of the MxN subproblems.
|
||
|
||
Improvement:
|
||
It's possible to optimize space complexity to O(min(M, N)) or time to O((N + r)log(N))
|
||
where r is the number of matches between the two sequences. Try to figure out how.
