Dynamic Programming: Number of Longest Increasing SubsequenceDescriptionGiven an integer array nums, return the number of longest increasing subsequences. Notice that the sequence has to be strictly increasing. Example 1:123Input: nums = [1,3,5,4,7]Output: 2Explanation: The two longest increasing subsequences are [1, 3, 4, 7] and [1, 3, 5, 7]. Example 2:123Input: nums = [2,2,2,2,2]Output: 5Explanation: The length of longest continuous increasing subsequence is 1, and there are 5 subse ...
