//Given two strings s1 and s2, find the length of the longest common substring.
//NOTE: A substring is a contiguous part of string.
// Input : X = “abcdxyz”, y = “xyzabcd”
// Output : 4
// Explanation: The longest common substring is “abcd” and is of length 4.
//Program using Dynamic Programming
//TIME COMPLEXITY: O(m*n)
#include <iostream>
