Longest Increasing Subsequence

Given an unsorted array of integers, find the length of longest increasing subsequence.

Example:

Input: [10,9,2,5,3,7,101,18]
Output: 4 
Explanation: The longest increasing subsequence is [2,3,7,101], therefore the length is 4. 

Note:

• There may be more than one LIS combination, it is only necessary for you to return the length.
• Your algorithm should run in O(n2) complexity.

Follow up: Could you improve it to O(n log n) time complexity?

class Solution {
public:
    int lengthOfLIS(vector<int>& nums) {
        if (nums.empty()) return 0;
        vector<int> ends{nums[0]};
        for (auto a : nums) {
            if (a < ends[0]) ends[0] = a;
            else if (a > ends.back()) ends.push_back(a);
            else {
                int left = 0, right = ends.size();
                while (left < right) {
                    int mid = left + (right - left) / 2;
                    if (ends[mid] < a) left = mid + 1;
                    else right = mid;
                }
                ends[right] = a;
            }
        }
        return ends.size();
    }

};

方法二：

class Solution {
public:
    int lengthOfLIS(vector<int>& nums) {
        vector<int> v;
        for (auto a : nums) {
            auto it = lower_bound(v.begin(), v.end(), a);
            if (it == v.end()) 
                v.push_back(a);
            else 
                *it = a;
        }
        return v.size();
    }
};
