Python code for finding the longest common subsequence

[Rina0]

I am looking for a Python code to find the longest common subsequence of two strings. I found this blog post that describes the length of longest common subsequence problem and provides a solution in Java. Can anyone help me translate the Java code into Python?

Here is the Java code from the blog post:

java
public static int longestCommonSubsequence(String X, String Y) {
int m = X.length();
int n = Y.length();
int[][] dp = new int[m + 1][n + 1];
for (int i = 0; i <= m; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j <= n; j++) {
if (i == 0 || j == 0) {
dp[i][j] = 0;
} else if (X.charAt(i - 1) == Y.charAt(j - 1)) {
dp[i][j] = dp[i - 1][j - 1] + 1;
} else {
dp[i][j] = Math.max(dp[i - 1][j], dp[i][j - 1]);
}
}
}
return dp[m][n];
}
 
 

I would appreciate any help with this. Thank you!
