Given a string s and a string t, check if s is subsequence of t.
You may assume that there is only lower case English letters in both s and t. t is potentially a very long (length ~= 500,000) string, and s is a short string (<=100).
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:
s = "abc", t = "ahbgdc"
Return true.
Example 2:
s = "axc", t = "ahbgdc"
Return false.
Follow up:
If there are lots of incoming S, say S1, S2, ... , Sk where k >= 1B, and you want to check one by one to see if T has its subsequence. In this scenario, how would you change your code?

题解:
判断s是否t的子串,意味着t中delete掉一些字符能构成s(保留字符的相对顺序)
两个字符串都从头开始寻找,当t[index1] == s[index2]的时候,index2++, 如果最终index2 == s.length(), 返回true
class Solution {
public boolean isSubsequence(String s, String t) {
if(s.length() == 0) return true;
int indexS = 0, indexT = 0;
while(indexT<t.length()){
if(t.charAt(indexT) == s.charAt(indexS)){
indexS++;
}
indexT++;
//try to stop in advanxce
if(indexS == s.length()) return true;
}
return false;
}
}
