* @brief find the length of the Longest Increasing Subsequence (LIS)
* using [Binary Search](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_increasing_subsequence)
* @details
* Given an integer array nums, return the length of the longest strictly
* increasing subsequence.
* The longest increasing subsequence is described as a subsequence of an array
* where: All elements of the subsequence are in increasing order. This subsequence
* itself is of the longest length possible.
* For solving this problem we have Three Approaches :-
* Approach 1 :- Using Brute Force
* The first approach that came to your mind is the Brute Force approach where we
* generate all subsequences and then manually filter the subsequences whose
* elements come in increasing order and then return the longest such subsequence.
* Time Complexity :- O(2^n)
* It's time complexity is exponential. Therefore we will try some other
* approaches.
* Approach 2 :- Using Dynamic Programming
* To generate all subsequences we will use recursion and in the recursive logic we
* will figure out a way to solve this problem. Recursive Logic to solve this
* problem:-
* 1. We only consider the element in the subsequence if the element is grater then
* the last element present in the subsequence
* 2. When we consider the element we will increase the length of subsequence by 1
* Time Complexity: O(N*N)
* Space Complexity: O(N*N) + O(N)
* This approach is better then the previous Brute Force approach so, we can
* consider this approach.
* But when the Constraints for the problem is very larger then this approach fails
* Approach 3 :- Using Binary Search
* Other approaches use additional space to create a new subsequence Array.
* Instead, this solution uses the existing nums Array to build the subsequence
* array. We can do this because the length of the subsequence array will never be
* longer than the current index.
* Time complexity: O(n∗log(n))
* Space complexity: O(1)
* This approach consider Most optimal Approach for solving this problem
