Finding the Longest Common Subsequence (LCS) String

This program focuses on algorithms for finding the Longest Common Subsequence (LCS) between two strings. It explores the limitations of algorithms that only compute the length of the LCS and introduces a more advanced, recursive, divide-and-conquer approach developed by Hirschberg. This method efficiently finds the actual LCS string while using minimal memory. The course delves into the "divide and conquer" strategy for solving the LCS string problem. It explains how to split the input strings and recursively solve smaller subproblems. A key challenge addressed is finding the correct split point for the second string to ensure the overall solution remains accurate. The program also highlights the performance benefits of this approach, particularly the logarithmic depth of recursion achieved by splitting the first string equally.
