64. Minimum Path Sum
Difficulty: Medium
https://leetcode.com/problems/minimum-path-sum/
──────────────────────────────────────────────────
Given a m x n grid filled with non-negative numbers, find a path from
top left to bottom right, which minimizes the sum of all numbers along
its path.
Note: You can only move either down or right at any point in time.
Example 1:
Input: grid = [[1,3,1],[1,5,1],[4,2,1]]
Output: 7
Explanation: Because the path 1 → 3 → 1 → 1 → 1
minimizes the sum.
Example 2:
Input: grid = [[1,2,3],[4,5,6]]
Output: 12
Constraints:
• m == grid.length
• n == grid[i].length
• 1 <= m, n <= 200
• 0 <= grid[i][j] <= 200

1143. Longest Common Subsequence
Difficulty: Medium
https://leetcode.com/problems/longest-common-subsequence/
──────────────────────────────────────────────────
Given two strings text1 and text2, return the length of their longest
common subsequence. If there is no common subsequence, return 0.
A subsequence of a string is a new string generated from the original
string with some characters (can be none) deleted without changing the
relative order of the remaining characters.
• For example, "ace" is a subsequence of "abcde".
A common subsequence of two strings is a subsequence that is common
to both strings.
Example 1:
Input: text1 = "abcde", text2 = "ace"
Output: 3
Explanation: The longest common subsequence is "ace" and its length
is 3.
Example 2:
Input: text1 = "abc", text2 = "abc"
Output: 3
Explanation: The longest common subsequence is "abc" and its length
is 3.
Example 3:
Input: text1 = "abc", text2 = "def"
Output: 0
Explanation: There is no such common subsequence, so the result is 0.
Constraints:
• 1 <= text1.length, text2.length <= 1000
• text1 and text2 consist of only lowercase English characters.
