# Leetcode-Is Subsequence
Date: 2021-05-18


#### **问题**

Given two strings `s` and `t`, check if `s` is a **subsequence** of `t`.

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 <= 10`4
- `s` and `t` consist only of lowercase English letters.

 

**Follow up:** If there are lots of incoming `s`, say `s`1`, s`2`, ..., s`k where `k >= 10`9, and you want to check one by one to see if `t` has its subsequence. In this scenario, how would you change your code?

#### **解答：**

从左到右逐个比较主字符串和子字符串

- 相等时，同时移动主串和子字符串索引指向下一个字符
- 不相等，仅移动主串索引指向下一个字符

如果发现子数组的索引已经移动到了数组的末尾，即等于字串长度，表明找到字符串。

```
class Solution:
    def isSubsequence(self, s: str, t: str) -> bool:
        sIdx = 0
        tIdx = 0
        while  sIdx < len(s) and tIdx <len(t):
            if s[sIdx] == t[tIdx]:
                sIdx += 1
            tIdx += 1
            
        return sIdx == len(s)
```
