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
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
.
Example 1:
**Input:** s1 = "aabcc", s2 = "dbbca", s3 = "aadbbcbcac"
**Output:** true
**Explanation:** One way to obtain s3 is:
Split s1 into s1 = "aa" + "bc" + "c", and s2 into s2 = "dbbc" + "a".
Interleaving the two splits, we get "aa" + "dbbc" + "bc" + "a" + "c" = "aadbbcbcac".
Since s3 can be obtained by interleaving s1 and s2, we return true.
Example 2:
**Input:** s1 = "aabcc", s2 = "dbbca", s3 = "aadbbbaccc"
**Output:** false
**Explanation:** Notice how it is impossible to interleave s2 with any other string to obtain s3.
Example 3:
**Input:** s1 = "", s2 = "", s3 = ""
**Output:** true
Constraints:
0 <= s1.length, s2.length <= 100
0 <= s3.length <= 200
s1
,s2
, ands3
consist of lowercase English letters.
