Number of Matching Subsequences

Given a string s and an array of strings words, return the number of words[i] that is a subsequence of s.

Given a string s and an array of strings words, return the number of words[i] that is a subsequence of s.

A subsequence of a string is a new string generated from the original string with some characters (can be none) deleted without changing the relative order of the remaining characters.

Number of Matching Subsequences diagram

Example 1

Input: s = "abcde", words = ["a","bb","acd","ace"]

Output: 3

Explanation: There are three strings in words that are a subsequence of s: "a", "acd", "ace".

Example 2

Input: s = "dsahjpjauf", words = ["ahjpjau","ja","ahbwzgqnuk","tnmlanowax"]

Output: 2

Constraints

  • 1 <= s.length <= 5 * 10^4
  • 1 <= words.length <= 5000
  • 1 <= words[i].length <= 50
  • s and words[i] consist of only lowercase English letters.
