Algorithm

115. Distinct Subsequences

Description

Given two strings s and t, return the number of distinct subsequences of s which equals t.

The test cases are generated so that the answer fits on a 32-bit signed integer.

Example 1:

Input: s = "rabbbit", t = "rabbit"
Output: 3
Explanation:
As shown below, there are 3 ways you can generate "rabbit" from s.
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.
babgbag
babgbag
babgbag
babgbag
babgbag

Constraints:

  • 1 <= s.length, t.length <= 1000
  • s and t consist of English letters.

Solution

class Solution {
    public int numDistinct(String s, String t) {
        // array creation
        int[][] mem = new int[t.length()+1][s.length()+1];

        // filling the first row: with 1s
        for(int j=0; j<=s.length(); j++) {
            mem[0][j] = 1;
        }

        // the first column is 0 by default in every other rows but the first, which we need.

        for(int i=0; i<t.length(); i++) {
            for(int j=0; j<s.length(); j++) {
                if(t.charAt(i) == s.charAt(j)) {
                    mem[i+1][j+1] = mem[i][j] + mem[i+1][j];
                } else {
                    mem[i+1][j+1] = mem[i+1][j];
                }
            }
        }

        return mem[t.length()][s.length()];
    }
}
