392. Is Subsequence (Easy)

Given two strings s and t, check if s is a subsequence of t.

A subsequence of a string is a new string that is formed from the original string by deleting some (can be none) of the characters without disturbing the relative positions of the remaining characters. (i.e., "ace" is a subsequence of "abcde" while "aec" is not).

 

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 <= 104
• s and t consist only of lowercase English letters.

 

Follow up: If there are lots of incoming s, say s1, s2, ..., sk where k >= 109, and you want to check one by one to see if t has its subsequence. In this scenario, how would you change your code?
