lintcode-medium-Interleaving String

Given three strings: s1, s2, s3, determine whether s3 is formed by the interleaving of s1 and s2.

 

For s1 = "aabcc", s2 = "dbbca"

• When s3 = "aadbbcbcac", return true.
• When s3 = "aadbbbaccc", return false.

动态规划，用一个二维数据记录：s1前i个字符，s2前j个字符，是不是s3前i + j个字符的interleave

状态转移：

dp[i - 1][j]为true，且s1的下一个字符和s3的下一个字符相等，或者dp[i][j - 1]为true，且s2的下一个字符和s3的下一个字符相等，则dp[i][j]为true，否则dp[i][j]为false
