+/*Longest Increasing Subsequence
+
+ Description:
+ Given an integer array nums, return the length of the longest strictly increasing subsequence.
+ A subsequence is a sequence that can be derived from an array by deleting some or no elements
+ without changing the order of the remaining elements.
+
+ For example, [3,6,2,7] is a subsequence of the array [0,3,1,6,2,2,7].
+
+
+Input: nums = [10,9,2,5,3,7,101,18]
+Output: 4
+Explanation: The longest increasing subsequence is [2,3,7,101], therefore the length is 4.
