Shortest Common Supersequence

Understand how to determine the shortest common supersequence for two given strings by applying dynamic programming methods. This lesson helps you grasp subsequence concepts and use efficient techniques such as memoization and tabulation to solve complex problems effectively.

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 ...
