% problem : given two strings x and y, find the longest common
% subsequence (LCS) and print its length
% Example:
% x: abcicba
% y: abdkscab
% "abca" is the longest subsequence found in both sequences, so the
% answer is 4
%{
How to slove this problem?
This demo is show how to find LCS using dynamic programming algorithem.
D(i,j):
if x(i -1) == y(i - 1)
D(i - 1, j - 1)
else
max(D(i - 1, j), D(i, j - 1))
Then do trace back
