# 1143. Longest Common Subsequence

[**1143. Longest Common Subsequence**](https://leetcode.com/problems/longest-common-subsequence/)

Given two strings `text1` and `text2`, return *the length of their longest **common subsequence**.* If there is no **common subsequence**, return `0`.

A **subsequence** of a string is a new string generated from the original string with some characters (can be none) deleted without changing the relative order of the remaining characters.

* For example, `"ace"` is a subsequence of `"abcde"`.

A **common subsequence** of two strings is a subsequence that is common to both strings.

**Example 1:**

```
Input: text1 = "abcde", text2 = "ace" 
Output: 3  
Explanation: The longest common subsequence is "ace" and its length is 3.
```

**Example 2:**

```
Input: text1 = "abc", text2 = "abc"
Output: 3
Explanation: The longest common subsequence is "abc" and its length is 3.
```

**Example 3:**

```
Input: text1 = "abc", text2 = "def"
Output: 0
Explanation: There is no such common subsequence, so the result is 0.
```

**Constraints:**

* `1 <= text1.length, text2.length <= 1000`
* `text1` and `text2` consist of only lowercase English characters.

***My Solutions:***

```java
class Solution {
    public int longestCommonSubsequence(String text1, String text2) {
        int len1 = text1.length();
        int len2 = text2.length();
        int[][] dp = new int[len1 + 1][len2 + 1];

        for (int i = 1; i <= len1; i++) {
            for (int j = 1; j <= len2; j++) {
                if (text1.charAt(i - 1) == text2.charAt(j - 1)) {
                    dp[i][j] = 1 + dp[i - 1][j - 1];
                } else {
                    dp[i][j] = Math.max(dp[i - 1][j], dp[i][j - 1]);
                }
            }
        }
        return dp[len1][len2];
    }
}
