# Longest Increasing Subsequence

Longest Increasing Subsequence is a subsequence where one item is greater than its previous item. Here we will try to find Longest Increasing Subsequence length, from a set of integers.

## Input and Output

Input:
A set of integers. {0, 8, 4, 12, 2, 10, 6, 14, 1, 9, 5, 13, 3, 11, 7, 15}
Output:
The length of longest increasing subsequence. Here it is 6.
The subsequence is 0, 2, 6, 9, 13, 15.

## Algorithm

longestSubSeq(subarray, n)

Input − The sub array and the size of sub array.

Output − Longest increasing sub sequence length.

Begin
define array length of size n
initially set 0 to all entries of length

for i := 1 to n-1, do
for j := 0 to i-1, do
if subarray[j] < subarray[i] and length[j] > length[i], then length[i] := length[j]
done

increase length[i] by 1
done

lis := 0
for i := 0 to n-1, do
lis := maximum of lis and length[i]
done

return lis
End

## Example

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int longestSubSeq(int subArr[], int n) {
int length[n] = { 0 };                    //set all length to 0
length[0] = 1;                            //subsequence ending with subArr[0] is 1

for (int i = 1; i < n; i++) {            //ignore first character, second to all
for (int j = 0; j < i; j++) {         //subsequence ends with subArr[j]
if (subArr[j] < subArr[i] && length[j] > length[i])
length[i] = length[j];
}
}
int lis = 0;
for (int i = 0; i<n; i++)           // find longest increasing subsequence
lis = max(lis, length[i]);
return lis;
}
int main() {
int arr[] = { 0, 8, 4, 12, 2, 10, 6, 14, 1, 9, 5, 13, 3, 11, 7, 15};
int n = 16
cout << "Length of Longest Increasing Subsequence is: " << longestSubSeq(arr, n);
return 0;
}

## Output

Length of Longest Increasing Subsequence is: 6
