How to use the Tabulation technique of Dynamic programming to find LPS In Data Structures and Algorithms

In the earlier sections, we discussed recursive and dynamic programming approaches with memoization for solving the Longest Palindromic Subsequence (LPS) problem. Now, we will shift our focus to the Bottom-up dynamic programming method.

Below is the implementation for the above approach:

C++
// A Dynamic Programming based C++ program for LPS problem
// Returns the length of the longest palindromic subsequence
#include <algorithm>
#include <cstring> // for memset
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int longestPalinSubseq(string S)
{
    string R = S;
    reverse(R.begin(), R.end());

    // dp[i][j] will store the length of the longest
    // palindromic subsequence for the substring
    // starting at index i and ending at index j
    int dp[S.length() + 1][R.length() + 1];

    // Initialize dp array with zeros
    memset(dp, 0, sizeof(dp));

    // Filling up DP table based on conditions discussed
    // in the above approach
    for (int i = 1; i <= S.length(); i++) {
        for (int j = 1; j <= R.length(); j++) {
            if (S[i - 1] == R[j - 1])
                dp[i][j] = 1 + dp[i - 1][j - 1];
            else
                dp[i][j] = max(dp[i][j - 1], dp[i - 1][j]);
        }
    }

    // At the end, DP table will contain the LPS
    // So just return the length of LPS
    return dp[S.length()][R.length()];
}

// Driver code
int main()
{
    string s = "w3wiki";
    cout << "The length of the LPS is "
         << longestPalinSubseq(s) << endl;

    return 0;
}

        for (int i = 1; i <= S.length(); i++) {
            for (int j = 1; j <= R.length(); j++) {
                if (S.charAt(i - 1) == R.charAt(j - 1))
                    dp[i][j] = 1 + dp[i - 1][j - 1];
                else
                    dp[i][j] = Math.max(dp[i][j - 1],

The length of the LPS is 5

Time Complexity : O(n2)
Auxiliary Space: O(n2), since we use a 2-D array.


Longest Palindromic Subsequence (LPS)

Given a string ‘S’, find the length of the Longest Palindromic Subsequence in it.

The Longest Palindromic Subsequence (LPS) is the problem of finding a maximum-length subsequence of a given string that is also a Palindrome.

Longest Palindromic Subsequence

Examples:

Input: S = “w3wiki”
Output: 5
Explanation: The longest palindromic subsequence we can get is of length 5. There are more than 1 palindromic subsequences of length 5, for example: EEKEE, EESEE, EEFEE, …etc.

Input: S = “BBABCBCAB”
Output: 7
Explanation: As “BABCBAB” is the longest palindromic subsequence in it. “BBBBB” and “BBCBB” are also palindromic subsequences of the given sequence, but not the longest ones.

Using Space Optimized method of Dynamic programming to find LPS:-

In the previous solution you can clearly see that the current row is depending upon previous row. Its mean we are working with only two rows at a time. So, we have created 2 rows and initialized with 0s. We are using vector this time because swapping array becomes easy in vectors. The main logic behind this solution is that we finds the solution of current row then swaps it with the previous one in every iteration until we comes to the end of our strings;...
