Longest Common Subsequence 1

QUESTION

The longest common subsequence (or LCS) of groups A and B is the longest group of elements from A and B that are common between the two groups and in the same order in each group. \n\nFor example, the sequences \”1234\” and \”1224533324\” have an LCS of \”1234\”.
