- Implemented the Longest Increasing Subsequence algorithm in R.
- Finds the length and sequence of the longest strictly increasing subsequence.
- Efficient O(n log n) binary search implementation with O(n²) DP fallback.
- Handles edge cases including empty arrays, duplicates, and single elements.
- Prints DP table, actual LIS sequence, and performance comparisons.
- Time Complexity: O(n log n) optimized, O(n²) basic DP.
- Space Complexity: O(n) for DP array, O(1) for optimized version.

Pull Request Overview
This PR implements the Longest Increasing Subsequence (LIS) algorithm in R with comprehensive functionality including both basic O(n²) dynamic programming and optimized O(n log n) binary search solutions. The implementation includes edge case handling, performance comparisons, and real-world applications.
- Implements basic DP approach for finding LIS with backtracking to reconstruct the sequence
- Adds optimized binary search solution for improved time complexity
- Provides comprehensive test coverage including edge cases, performance benchmarks, and real-world examples
