Given a string S and a string T, count the number of distinct subsequences of S which equals T.

A subsequence of a string is a new string which is formed from the original string by deleting some (can be none) of the characters without disturbing the relative positions of the remaining characters. (ie, "ACE" is a subsequence of "ABCDE" while "AEC" is not).

Example 1:

Input: S = "rabbbit", T = "rabbit"
Output: 3
Explanation:

As shown below, there are 3 ways you can generate "rabbit" from S.
(The caret symbol ^ means the chosen letters)

rabbbit
^^^^ ^^
rabbbit
^^ ^^^^
rabbbit
^^^ ^^^

 

思路:

用DP,难点在于如何找出递推式,

看下面一张图就了解了:

115. Distinct Subsequences(不同的子序列)

递推式为:dp[i][j] = dp[i][j-1] + (s[i] == t[j]) ? dp[i-1][j-1] : 0

AC 4ms 95% Java:

class Solution {
    public int numDistinct(String s, String t) {
        int m=t.length(),n=s.length();
        int[][] dp=new int[m+1][n+1];
        for(int j=0;j<dp[0].length;j++){
            dp[0][j]=1;
        }
        for(int i=1;i<=m;i++){
            for(int j=1;j<=n;j++){
                dp[i][j]=dp[i][j-1]+(s.charAt(j-1)==t.charAt(i-1)?dp[i-1][j-1]:0);
            }
        }
        return dp[m][n];
    }
}

注意在循环中(i-1)(j-1)才是当前字符串的下标。
