Talk:Longest common subsequence

factoring out subsequence
Would it be possible to factor out what a subsequence is into a separate page, and just focus on how to compute LCS on this one? It would be a good idea to link from UVa_10252 to subsequence, but LCS is not as relevant to that problem. --Rrenaud 15:56, 20 Jan 2005 (EST)

definitely, hence the link. I just wrote a very short blurb for the purpose of continuation.. that's why there's the link in LCS..

Thanks, I think it will be a very short rest of the way though.. I think I had like a 4% probability of advancing to round 3 after quals. I've been getting lucky. And just solving the medium with a slow time won't keep me going forever --Rrenaud 15:56, 20 Jan 2005 (EST)

I think there are some mistakes on the code non-recursive, like the arrays a and b (are they x and y?). also there is an "an" which I think is (and changed to) an "and" --meiao
