Challenge 9: Strings Interleaving
Let's write code to find out if a given string is the result of interleaving two other strings
We'll cover the following
Problem Statement
Give three strings m
, n
, and p
, write a function to find out if p
has been formed by interleaving m
and n
. ‘p’ should be considered to be an interleaved form of m
and n
if it contains all the letters from m
and n
in a preserved order.
Input
Three strings.
Output
a boolean.
Sample Input
string m="abd";
string n="cef";
string p="abcdef";
Sample Output
1
Coding Exercise
Take a close look and design a step-by-step algorithm before jumping on to the implementation. This problem is designed for your practice, so try to solve it on your own first. If you get stuck, you can always refer to the hint and solution provided in the code tab. Good Luck!
