Troubleshooting Longest Increasing Subsequence Algorithm

Hello,

I'm having trouble troubleshooting a problem with the longest increasing subsequence algorithm. I'm using the code from the blog post, but I'm getting an incorrect output. Here's the code I'm using:

Code:
def lis(arr):
    n = len(arr)
    lis = [1]*n
    for i in range (1 , n):
        for j in range(0 , i):
            if arr[i] > arr[j] and lis[i]< lis[j] + 1 :
                lis[i] = lis[j]+1
    maximum = 0
    for i in range(n):
        maximum = max(maximum , lis[i])
    return maximum

arr = [10 , 22 , 9 , 33 , 21 , 50 , 41 , 60]
print("Length of lis is", lis(arr))

The output I'm getting is 6, when it should be 5
Does anyone have any advice on how I can troubleshoot this?

Thanks in advance!
 
Actually, the output of this code is 5, which is correct. I don't understand how you can say you are getting 6.
But I notice you left out the last element (80) of the input array as used in the blog post. That would have given you 6.
