"""
Longest Common Substring Problem Statement: Given two sequences, find the
longest common substring present in both of them. A substring is
necessarily continuous.
Example: "abcdef" and "xabded" have two longest common substrings, "ab" or "de".
Therefore, algorithm should return any one of them.
