392. Is Subsequence

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

You may assume that there is only lower case English letters in both s and t. t is potentially a very long (length ~= 500,000) string, and s is a short string (<=100).

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).

Example 1:

s = “abc”, t = “ahbgdc”

Return true.

Example 2:

s = “axc”, t = “ahbgdc”

Return false.

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?

class Solution {
public boolean isSubsequence(String s, String t) {
if(s==null||s.length()==0)
return true;
int index=0;
char ch;
for(int i=0;i<s.length();i++){
ch=s.charAt(i);
while(index<t.length()&&t.charAt(index)!=ch){
index++;
}
if(index>=t.length()){
return false;
}
index++;
}
return true;
}
}
