Author : Mehdi ALAOUI
This is a pure Python implementation of Dynamic Programming solution to the longest increasing subsequence of a given sequence.
The problem is :
Given an ARRAY, to find the longest and increasing sub ARRAY in that given ARRAY and return it.
Example: [10, 22, 9, 33, 21, 50, 41, 60, 80] as input will return [10, 22, 33, 41, 60, 80] as output
