Shortest Common Supersequence

Explore how to find the shortest common supersequence of two strings by applying dynamic programming concepts. This lesson helps you understand subsequences and master an efficient solution approach useful for coding interviews.

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 ...
