Dynamic Programming pattern

Longest Common Subsequence

Given two strings text1 and text2, return the length of their longest common subsequence. A subsequence keeps relative order but need not be contiguous. If there is no common subsequence, return 0. Watch it run step by step, then write your own pseudocode and get it checked by AI.
