Given a m * n matrix of ones and zeros, return how many square submatrices have all ones.

Example 1:

Input: matrix =
[
  [0,1,1,1],
  [1,1,1,1],
  [0,1,1,1]
]
Output: 15
Explanation: 
There are 10 squares of side 1.
There are 4 squares of side 2.
There is  1 square of side 3.
Total number of squares = 10 + 4 + 1 = 15.

Example 2:

Input: matrix = 
[
  [1,0,1],
  [1,1,0],
  [1,1,0]
]
Output: 7
Explanation: 
There are 6 squares of side 1.  
There is 1 square of side 2. 
Total number of squares = 6 + 1 = 7.

Constraints:

• 1 <= arr.length <= 300
• 1 <= arr[0].length <= 300
• 0 <= arr[i][j] <= 1

Idea:

Dynamic Programing

• dp[i][j] := edge of largest square with bottom right corner at (i, j)
• base case:
  • dp[0][0], dp[i][0], dp[0][j] = 1 if martix[i][j] = 1
• The current unit can form the largest square matrix with the left, upper and upper left units. For example, a unit can form a matrix with a side length of 3 with the left, top, and top left units. That can also form a matrix with a side length of 2 and a side length of 1. So:
  • dp[i][j] = min(dp[i – 1][j], dp[i – 1][j – 1], dp[i][j – 1])+1 if matrix[i][j] == 1 else 0
• Return answer:
  • ans = sum of all dp[i][j]

Solution:

/**
 * @param {number[][]} matrix
 * @return {number}
 */
var countSquares = function(matrix) {
    let row = matrix.length;
    let col = matrix[0].length;
    let dp = Array.from(new Array(row), () => new Array(col));
    let sum = 0;
    for (let i = 0; i < row; i++) {
        for (let j = 0; j < col; j++) {
            // Basic cases: 
            // dp[0][0], dp[i][0], dp[0][j] cases => has 1, form a square
            dp[i][j] = matrix[i][j];
            
            if (i && j && dp[i][j]) // Why? See Above
                dp[i][j] = Math.min(dp[i - 1][j - 1], dp[i][j - 1], dp[i - 1][j]) + 1;

            sum += dp[i][j];
        }   
    }
    return sum;
};

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

Idea:

Dynamic Programing

Use dp[i][j] to represent the length of longest common sub-sequence of text1[0:i-1] and text2[0:j-1]
dp[i][j] = dp[i – 1][j – 1] + 1 if text1[i – 1] == text2[j – 1] else max(dp[i][j – 1], dp[i – 1][j])

Solution:

/**
 * @param {string} text1
 * @param {string} text2
 * @return {number}
 */
var longestCommonSubsequence = function(text1, text2) {
    // Use dp[i][j] to represent the length of longest common sub-sequence of text1[0:i-1] and text2[0:j-1]
    // dp[i][j] = dp[i – 1][j – 1] + 1 if text1[i – 1] == text2[j – 1] else max(dp[i][j – 1], dp[i – 1][j])
    let dp = Array.from(new Array(text1.length + 1), () => new Array(text2.length + 1));
    
    // final result dp[i + 1][j + 1] contains length of LCS  
    // for text1[0..i] and text2[0..j], so use <=
    for (let i = 0; i <= text1.length; i++) {
        for (let j = 0; j <= text2.length; j++) {
            // base case:
            if (i === 0 || j === 0) 
                dp[i][j] = 0;
            else if (text1[i - 1] === text2[j - 1])
                dp[i][j] = dp[i - 1][j - 1] + 1;
            else
                dp[i][j] = Math.max(dp[i - 1][j], dp[i][j - 1]);
        }
    }
    // dp[text1.length][text2.length] contains length of LCS  
    // for text1[0..text1.length-1] and text2[0..text2.length-1]
    return dp[text1.length][text2.length];
}

Given an integer array nums, return the length of the longest strictly increasing subsequence.

A subsequence is a sequence that can be derived from an array by deleting some or no elements without changing the order of the remaining elements. For example, [3,6,2,7] is a subsequence of the array [0,3,1,6,2,2,7].

Example 1:

Input: nums = [10,9,2,5,3,7,101,18]
Output: 4
Explanation: The longest increasing subsequence is [2,3,7,101], therefore the length is 4.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [0,1,0,3,2,3]
Output: 4

Example 3:

Input: nums = [7,7,7,7,7,7,7]
Output: 1

Constraints:

• 1 <= nums.length <= 2500
• -104 <= nums[i] <= 104

Idea:

dp[i] represents the length of the longest increasing subsequence of nums[0...i]
dp[0] = 1
dp[i] = max(dp[j]'s) + 1 if j < i when nums[i] > nums[j]
result: find the max of all dp[i]'s

Solution:

/**
 * @param {number[]} nums
 * @return {number}
 */
var lengthOfLIS = function(nums) {
    let dp = new Array(nums.length);
    dp[0] = 1;
    for (let i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) {
        // local max
        let max = 0;
        for (let j = 0; j < i; j++) {
            if (nums[i] > nums[j]) {
                max = Math.max(dp[j], max);
            }
        }
        dp[i] = max + 1;
    }
    // result: find the max of all dp[i]'s
    return Math.max(...dp);
};
