Given two strings, find the longest common substring.
Return the length of it.
Note
The characters in substring should occur continiously in original string. This is different with subsequnce.
Example
Given A=“ABCD”, B=“CBCE”, return 2
DP:
D[i][j] 定义为:两个string的前i个和前j个字符串,尾部连到最后的最长子串。
D[i][j] =
1. i = 0 || j = 0 : 0
2. s1.char[i - 1] = s2.char[j - 1] ? D[i-1][j-1] + 1 : 0;
另外,创建一个max的缓存,不段更新即可。

17 else res[i][j] = res[i-1][j-1]+1;
18 result = Math.max(result, res[i][j]);
19 }
