is-subsequence


Given two strings s and t, return true if s is a subsequence of t, or false otherwise.



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: Suppose 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?
