Longest increasing subarray and subsequence
Two warm-ups on one array:
- The longest strictly increasing contiguous run (for
1, 2, 1, 2, 3it is1, 2, 3). - The longest increasing subsequence, whose elements need not be adjacent: first in quadratic time, then in O(n log n) with patience-style binary search.
No answer yet. Write the first one; the best answer gets endorsed.
