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]  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 
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  length[i])
            length[i] = length[j];
      }
      length[i]++;              //add arr[i]
   }
   int lis = 0;
   for (int i = 0; i
Output
Length of Longest Increasing Subsequence is: 6
