300. Longest Increasing Subsequence

Medium

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

Follow up: Can you come up with an algorithm that runs in O(n log(n)) time complexity?

Solution

class Solution {
    fun lengthOfLIS(nums: IntArray): Int {
        if (nums.isEmpty()) {
            return 0
        }
        val dp = IntArray(nums.size + 1)
        // prefill the dp table
        for (i in 1 until dp.size) {
            dp[i] = Int.MAX_VALUE
        }
        val left = 1
        var right = 1
        for (curr in nums) {
            var start = left
            var end = right
            // binary search, find the one that is lower than curr
            while (start + 1 < end) {
                val mid = start + (end - start) / 2
                if (dp[mid] > curr) {
                    end = mid
                } else {
                    start = mid
                }
            }
            // update our dp table
            if (dp[start] > curr) {
                dp[start] = curr
            } else if (curr > dp[start] && curr < dp[end]) {
                dp[end] = curr
            } else if (curr > dp[end]) {
                dp[++end] = curr
                right++
            }
        }
        return right
    }
