43. Longest common subsequence - Part B

The chapter delves into the complexities of determining the longest common subsequence (LCS) between two sequences, emphasizing the algorithmic dependencies involved in deriving solutions. It illustrates how the dynamic programming approach can be utilized to fill up a solution table while tracking the origins of solutions for reconstructing the LCS efficiently. This is achieved by analyzing cell dependencies and incrementally building up the solution through comparisons between elements of the sequences.
