Longest Increasing Subsequence

Find length of longest strictly increasing subsequence Example: [10,9,2,5,3,7,101,18] => 4

Longest Increasing Subsequence is a dynamic programming question: define the state cleanly and the transitions usually follow. Interviewers love it because it reveals your state-and-transition thinking and your edge-case discipline. Once you define the right state, the transitions usually write themselves.
