Given two strings str1
and str2
, return the shortest string
that has both str1
and str2
as subsequences. If
multiple answers exist, you may return any of them.
(A string S is a subsequence of string T if deleting some number of characters from T (possibly 0, and the characters are chosen anywhere from T) 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.
Note:
1 <= str1.length, str2.length <= 1000
str1
and str2
consist of lowercase English letters.
