  2. Total number of subsequences
  3. Characters in the LCS
  4. Length of the strings A and B

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In the dynamic programming solution for the longest common subsequence, what does the dp[i][j] cell represent?
  • Step 1: Understand that we have two strings, A and B.
  • Step 2: The characters in string A are indexed from 1 to i.
  • Step 3: The characters in string B are indexed from 1 to j.
  • Step 4: The dp[i][j] cell is part of a table used to store results.
  • Step 5: dp[i][j] specifically stores the length of the longest common subsequence (LCS) between the first i characters of string A and the first j characters of string B.
  • Step 6: This means that dp[i][j] tells us how long the LCS is when we only consider the first i characters of A and the first j characters of B.
