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.

 

Example 1:

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

 

Note:

1. 1 <= A.length <= 500
2. 1 <= B.length <= 500
3. 1 <= A[i], B[i] <= 2000

思路：setting和最长公共子串一样，不能走回头路
