Is Subsequence
Given a string s and a string t, check if s is subsequence of t.
A subsequence of a string is a new string which is formed from the original string by deleting some (can be none) of the characters without disturbing the relative positions of the remaining characters. (ie, "ace"
is a subsequence of "abcde"
while "aec"
is not).
Follow up: If there are lots of incoming S, say S1, S2, ... , Sk where k >= 1B, and you want to check one by one to see if T has its subsequence. In this scenario, how would you change your code?
Credits: Special thanks to @pbrother for adding this problem and creating all test cases.
Example 1:
Input: s = "abc", t = "ahbgdc"
Output: true
Example 2:
Input: s = "axc", t = "ahbgdc"
Output: false
Constraints:
0 <= s.length <= 100
0 <= t.length <= 10^4
Both strings consists only of lowercase characters.
public class Solution {
public boolean isSubsequence(String s, String t) {
if (s.length() == 0)
return true;
int indexS = 0, indexT = 0;
while (indexT < t.length()) {
if (t.charAt(indexT) == s.charAt(indexS)) {
indexS++;
if (indexS == s.length())
return true;
}
indexT++;
}
return false;
}
}
