Problem: Distinct Subsequences
Hard
40 min
Explore how to determine the number of distinct subsequences of a string that exactly match another string. Understand the problem, apply dynamic programming concepts, and implement solutions to handle subsequence matching efficiently. This lesson strengthens your skills for coding interviews involving string manipulation and optimization.
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
Constraints:
s.length,t.lengthsandtconsist of English letters.
