Solution: Distinct Subsequences

Explore a dynamic programming approach to count how many distinct subsequences of one string match another exactly. Understand how to optimize space using a one-dimensional array while maintaining correct subsequence counts. This lesson helps you apply these techniques to solve complex string matching problems efficiently.

Statement

Given two strings, s and t, determine how many distinct subsequences of s match t exactly.

Note: A subsequence is formed by deleting zero or more characters from s without changing the relative order of the remaining characters.

You may assume the result will always fit within a 3232-bit signed integer.

Constraints:

  • 11 \leq s.length, t.length 1000\leq 1000 ...
