Description


Given an integer array nums, return the length of the longest strictly increasing subsequence.

Β 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [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.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [0,1,0,3,2,3]
Output: 4

Example 3:

Input: nums = [7,7,7,7,7,7,7]
Output: 1

Β 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 2500
  • -104 <= nums[i] <= 104

Β 

Follow up:Β Can you come up with an algorithm that runs inΒ O(n log(n)) time complexity?

Solution


Python3

class Solution:
    def lengthOfLIS(self, nums: List[int]) -> int:
        N = len(nums)
        s = []
 
        for x in nums:
            index = bisect_left(s, x)
 
            if index == len(s):
                s.append(x)
            else:
                s[index] = x
 
        return len(s)
