LeetCode 1035 - Uncrossed Lines


https://h1ros.github.io/posts/coding/1035-uncrossed-lines/
We write the integers of A and B (in the order they are given) on two separate horizontal lines.
Now, we may draw a straight line connecting two numbers A[i] and B[j] as long as A[i] == B[j], and the line we draw does not intersect any other connecting (non-horizontal) line.
Return the maximum number of connecting lines we can draw in this way.
Link for Problem: leetcode

Example 1:

image

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

but now the problem description includes the following: "Note that a connecting line cannot intersect even at the endpoints: each number can only belong to one connecting line."

    public int maxUncrossedLines(int[] A, int[] B) {

        for (int i = 1; i <= m; ++i)
            for (int j = 1; j <= n; ++j)
                if (A[i - 1] == B[j - 1])
                    dp[i][j] = 1 + dp[i - 1][j - 1];
                else
                    dp[i][j] = Math.max(dp[i][j - 1], dp[i - 1][j]);
        return dp[m][n];

        dp[i][j] = (max==Integer.MIN_VALUE)?0:max;

    }

虽然题目看起来有点复杂,其实就是求最长公共子串的长度。连线互不交叉其实就是公共子串换了一种说法而已。
本题可以采用动态规划的方法。记dp[i][j]为A[i]与B[j]连线后可以组成的最多连线的数量,当然这里A[i]与B[j]连线是虚拟的连线,因此存在A[i] != B[j]的情况。首先来看A[i] == B[j],这说明A[i]与B[i]可以连线,显然有dp[i][j] = dp[i-1][j-1]+1;如果是A[i] != B[j],那么分为三种情况dp[i][j] = max(dp[i-1][j-1],dp[i][j-1],dp[i-1][j]),这是因为A[i]不与B[j]连线,但是A[i]可能可以与B[j]之前所有点的连线,同理B[j]也是一样的。
