Problem: Distinct Subsequences

Medium
30 min
Understand how to count distinct subsequences of one string that match another exactly by applying dynamic programming. Explore problem constraints and implement solutions to efficiently address this common coding interview question.

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.
