A subsequence of a given sequence is the given sequence with some elements (possible none) left out. Given a sequence X = < x1, x2, …, xm > another sequence Z = < z1, z2, …, zk > is a subsequence of X if there exists a strictly increasing sequence < i1, i2, …, ik > of indices of X such that for all j = 1,2,…,k, x ij = zj. For example, Z = < a, b, f, c > is a subsequence of X = < a, b, c, f, b, c > with index sequence < 1, 2, 4, 6 >. Given two sequences X and Y the problem is to find the length of the maximum-length common subsequence of X and Y.
Input
The program input is from the std input. Each data set in the input contains two strings representing the given sequences. The sequences are separated by any number of white spaces. The input data are correct.
Output
For each set of data the program prints on the standard output the length of the maximum-length common subsequence from the beginning of a separate line.

解题思路:
其实就是画了一个表格,从一个字符和一个字符比较的情况一点一点往上推,跟背包问题想法一样,最重要的就是找到往上推的普遍规律。
比如当第m个字符和第n个字符比较时,如果第m个字符等于第n个字符,则m-1,n-1的答案加1就是m,n的答案,如果第m个字符不等于第n个字符,(m-1,n)和(m,n-1)中最大的就是(m,n)的答案。

char s1[1000],s2[1000];
int o[1000],n[1000];
while(scanf("%s%s",s1,s2)!=EOF)

int l1=strlen(s1);
int l2=strlen(s2);
memset(o,0,sizeof(o));

n[j+1]=o[j]+1;
else
n[j+1]=n[j]>o[j+1]?n[j]:o[j+1];
}
for(int j=1;j<=l2;j++)
{
o[j]=n[j];
