1055. Shortest Way to Form String
https://leetcode.com/problems/shortest-way-to-form-string
Description
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).
Given two strings source
and target
, return the minimum number of subsequences of source
such that their concatenation equals target
. If the task is impossible, return -1
.
Example 1:
Example 2:
Example 3:
Constraints:
1 <= source.length, target.length <= 1000
source
andtarget
consist of lowercase English letters.
