1035. Uncrossed Lines (Medium)

We write the integers of A and B (in the order they are given) on two separate horizontal lines.

Now, we may draw connecting lines: a straight line connecting two numbers A[i] and B[j] such that:

  • A[i] == B[j];
  • The line we draw does not intersect any other connecting (non-horizontal) line.

Note that a connecting lines cannot intersect even at the endpoints: each number can only belong to one connecting line.

Return the maximum number of connecting lines we can draw in this way.

 

Example 1:

Input: A = [1,4,2], B = [1,2,4]
Output: 2
Explanation: We can draw 2 uncrossed lines as in the diagram.
We cannot draw 3 uncrossed lines, because the line from A[1]=4 to B[2]=4 will intersect the line from A[2]=2 to B[1]=2.

Example 2:

Input: A = [2,5,1,2,5], B = [10,5,2,1,5,2]
Output: 3

Example 3:

Input: A = [1,3,7,1,7,5], B = [1,9,2,5,1]
Output: 2

 

Note:

  1. 1 <= A.length <= 500
  2. 1 <= B.length <= 500
  3. 1 <= A[i], B[i] <= 2000

Solution 1. DP

This problem is equivalent to longest common subsequence.

Let dp[i + 1][j + 1] be the maximum number of connecting lines between A[0..i] and B[0..j].

dp[i+1][j+1] = max( dp[i+1][j], dp[i][j+1] )         if A[i] != B[j]
               1 + dp[i][j]                          if A[i] == B[j]
dp[0][0] = 0
