Find Longest Increasing Subsequence Length in Python
Compute the length of the longest increasing subsequence in an array using dynamic programming.
def longest_increasing_subsequence(nums):
if not nums:
return 0
dp = [1] * len(nums)
for i in range(1, len(nums)):
for j in range(i):
if nums[i] > nums[j]:
dp[i] = max(dp[i], dp[j] + 1)
return max(dp)

row = [1] * (row_num + 1)
for col in range(1, row_num):
row[col] = triangle[row_num - 1][col - 1] + triangle[row_num - 1][col]
triangle.append(row)
