Shortest Common Supersequence

Explore how to find the shortest common supersequence of two given strings by applying dynamic programming techniques. This lesson guides you through understanding subsequences and implementing efficient solutions, helping you strengthen your skills for coding interviews focused on dynamic programming concepts.

We'll cover the following...

Statement

You are given two strings, str1 and str2. Your task is to find the shortest common supersequence (SCS). The shortest possible string that contains both str1 and str2 as subsequences.

If multiple strings satisfy this condition, you may return any one of them.

Note: A string ss is considered a subsequence of another string ...
