Question 1

What is the main goal of the LCS algorithm?

  • To find the longest common prefix
  • To find the longest common subsequence
  • To sort two strings

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how subsequences differ from prefixes.

Question 2

True or False: If two strings are identical, their LCS is the length of either string.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider what makes them identical.
