Problem
Given a string S and a string T, count the number of distinct subsequences of S which equals 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).
Example 1:
Input: S ="rabbbit"
, T ="rabbit" Output: 3
Explanation: As shown below, there are 3 ways you can generate "rabbit" from S. (The caret symbol ^ means the chosen letters)rabbbit
^^^^ ^^rabbbit
^^ ^^^^rabbbit
^^^ ^^^
Example 2:
Input: S ="babgbag"
, T ="bag" Output: 5
Explanation: As shown below, there are 5 ways you can generate "bag" from S. (The caret symbol ^ means the chosen letters)babgbag
^^ ^babgbag
^^ ^babgbag
^ ^^babgbag
^ ^^babgbag
^^^
Code
public class Solution {
public int numDistinct(String s, String t) {
int ls = s.length();
int lt = t.length();
int dp[][] = new int[lt + 1][ls + 1];
for (int i = 0; i <= ls; ++i) {
dp[0][i] = 1;
}
for (int i = 1; i <= lt; ++i) {
for (int j = 1; j <= ls; ++j) {
dp[i][j] += dp[i][j - 1];
dp[i][j] += t.charAt(i - 1) == s.charAt(j - 1) ? dp[i - 1][j - 1] : 0;
}
}
return dp[lt][ls];
}
}
