Interleaving String

MediumStringSorting

Description

Given strings s1, s2, and s3, find whether s3 is formed by interleaving s1 and s2. An interleaving maintains relative order of characters from both strings.

Examples

Input:s1 = "aabcc", s2 = "dbbca", s3 = "aadbbcbcac"
Output:true
Explanation:

S3 can be formed by interleaving s1 and s2.

Input:s1 = "aabcc", s2 = "dbbca", s3 = "aadbbbaccc"
Output:false
Explanation:

For s1 = "aabcc", s2 = "dbbca", s3 = "aadbbbaccc", the answer is false because the interleaving string condition is not met.

Input:s1 = "abc", s2 = "", s3 = "abc"
Output:true
Explanation:

When one string is empty, s3 should exactly match the other non-empty string. Since s2 is empty, s3 must be formed by taking all characters from s1 in order, which it does.

Constraints

  • 0 ≤ s1.length, s2.length ≤ 100
  • 0 ≤ s3.length ≤ 200
