Interleaving String (#97)
Given strings s1
, s2, and s3
, find whether s3
is formed by an interleaving of s1
and s2
.
An interleaving of two strings s
and t
is a configuration where s
and t
are divided into n
and m
non-empty substrings respectively, such that:
s = s1 + s2 + ... + sn
t = t1 + t2 + ... + tm
|n - m| <= 1
- The interleaving is
s1 + t1 + s2 + t2 + s3 + t3 + ...
ort1 + s1 + t2 + s2 + t3 + s3 + ...
Note: a + b
is the concatenation of strings a
and b
.
