Problem: Distinct Subsequences

Medium
30 min
Explore how to determine the number of distinct subsequences of one string that exactly match another using dynamic programming. Understand the problem, constraints, and efficient solution strategies to prepare for coding interviews involving subsequence pattern matching.

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.
