花花酱 LeetCode 300. Longest Increasing Subsequence

Problem:

Given an unsorted array of integers, find the length of longest increasing subsequence.

For example,
Given [10, 9, 2, 5, 3, 7, 101, 18],
The longest increasing subsequence is [2, 3, 7, 101], therefore the length is 4. Note that there may be more than one LIS combination, it is only necessary for you to return the length.

Your algorithm should run in O(n2) complexity.

Follow up: Could you improve it to O(n log n) time complexity?

Idea:

Dynamic Programming

Time Complexity:

O(n^2)

Solution 1:

Solution 2: DP + Binary Search / Patience Sort

dp[i] := smallest tailing number of a increasing subsequence of length i + 1.

dp is an increasing array, we can use binary search to find the index to insert/update the array.

ans = len(dp)

Time complexity: O(nlogn)
Space complexity: O(n)

C++

Python3

花花酱 LeetCode 62. Unique Paths

Problem:

A robot is located at the top-left corner of a m x n grid (marked ‘Start’ in the diagram below).

The robot can only move either down or right at any point in time. The robot is trying to reach the bottom-right corner of the grid (marked ‘Finish’ in the diagram below).

How many possible unique paths are there?

花花酱 LeetCode 128. Longest Consecutive Sequence

Given an unsorted array of integers, find the length of the longest consecutive elements sequence.

For example,
Given [100, 4, 200, 1, 3, 2],
The longest consecutive elements sequence is [1, 2, 3, 4]. Return its length: 4.

Your algorithm should run in O(n) complexity.
