1092. Shortest Common Supersequence
https://leetcode.com/problems/shortest-common-supersequence
Description
Given two strings str1
and str2
, return the shortest string that has both str1
and str2
as subsequences. If there are multiple valid strings, return any of them.
A string s
is a subsequence of string t
if deleting some number of characters from t
(possibly 0
) results in the string s
.
Example 1:
**Input:** str1 = "abac", str2 = "cab"
**Output:** "cabac"
**Explanation:**
str1 = "abac" is a subsequence of "cabac" because we can delete the first "c".
str2 = "cab" is a subsequence of "cabac" because we can delete the last "ac".
The answer provided is the shortest such string that satisfies these properties.
Example 2:
**Input:** str1 = "aaaaaaaa", str2 = "aaaaaaaa"
**Output:** "aaaaaaaa"
Constraints:
1 <= str1.length, str2.length <= 1000
str1
andstr2
consist of lowercase English letters.
