Adds Longest Arithmetic Subsequence (Review Reqd)
Describe your change:
Summary: This PR adds an implementation of the Longest Arithmetic Subsequence algorithm in Python. The function computes the length of the longest arithmetic subsequence from an input list of integers.
Key Features: Implements the function longest_arithmetic_subsequence(nums: List[int]) -> int which: Returns the length of the longest arithmetic subsequence. Handles edge cases like empty arrays and None input.
Changes: Added a function to calculate the longest arithmetic subsequence, supporting dynamic programming. Added type hints using List from the typing module for clarity and static type checking. The algorithm returns the length of the longest subsequence while ensuring: For an empty array, the result is 0. For a None array, a ValueError is raised.
