955 - Delete Columns to Make Sorted II.<p>Medium</p>
<p>You are given an array of <code>n</code> strings <code>strs</code>, all of the same length.</p>
<p>We may choose any deletion indices, and we delete all the characters in those indices for each string.</p>
<p>For example, if we have <code>strs = ["abcdef","uvwxyz"]</code> and deletion indices <code>{0, 2, 3}</code>, then the final array after deletions is <code>["bef", "vyz"]</code>.</p>
<p>Suppose we chose a set of deletion indices <code>answer</code> such that after deletions, the final array has its elements in <strong>lexicographic</strong> order (i.e., <code>strs[0] <= strs[1] <= strs[2] <= ... <= strs[n - 1]</code>). Return <em>the minimum possible value of</em> <code>answer.length</code>.</p>
<p><strong>Example 1:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Input:</strong> strs = [“ca”,“bb”,“ac”]</p>
<p><strong>Output:</strong> 1</p>
<p><strong>Explanation:</strong></p>
<p>After deleting the first column, strs = [“a”, “b”, “c”].</p>
<p>Now strs is in lexicographic order (ie. strs[0] <= strs[1] <= strs[2]).</p>
<p>We require at least 1 deletion since initially strs was not in lexicographic order, so the answer is 1.</p>
<p><strong>Example 2:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Input:</strong> strs = [“xc”,“yb”,“za”]</p>
<p><strong>Output:</strong> 0</p>
<p><strong>Explanation:</strong></p>
<p>strs is already in lexicographic order, so we do not need to delete anything.</p>
<p>Note that the rows of strs are not necessarily in lexicographic order:</p>
<p>i.e., it is NOT necessarily true that (strs[0][0] <= strs[0][1] <= …)</p>
<p><strong>Example 3:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Input:</strong> strs = [“zyx”,“wvu”,“tsr”]</p>
<p><strong>Output:</strong> 3</p>
<p><strong>Explanation:</strong> We have to delete every column.</p>
<p><strong>Constraints:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><code>n == strs.length</code></li>
<li><code>1 <= n <= 100</code></li>
<li><code>1 <= strs[i].length <= 100</code></li>
<li><code>strs[i]</code> consists of lowercase English letters.</li>
</ul>
