Problem: Distinct Subsequences

Medium
30 min
Explore methods to count how many distinct subsequences of one string match another string exactly. Understand the dynamic programming approach to efficiently solve this problem and practice your implementation in a hands-on coding environment. Develop skills to manage subsequence problems common in coding interviews.

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

  • s and t consist of English letters.
