*Longest Common Substring

Given two strings, find the longest common substring.

Return the length of it.

Example

Given A = "ABCD", B = "CBCE", return 2.

Note

The characters in substring should occur continuously in original string. This is different with subsequence.

Challenge

O(n x m) time and memory.
