Check If a String is Subsequence of Another String

In this tutorial, I am going to discuss a problem Is Subsequence (check if a string is subsequence of another string).

Given two strings str1 and str2, check if str1 is a subsequence of str2. Both strings consists only of lowercase characters.

Example 1:

Input: str1 = “abc”, str2 = “ahbgdc”

Output: true

Example 2:

Input: s = “axc”, t = “ahbgdc”

Output: false

Valid Perfect Square

How to check valid perfect square without sqrt (in-built Library function).

Given a positive integer, We have to write a code to returns true if it is a perfect square else false.

For solving this problem, we don’t have to use any built-in library function (such as sqrt).

For Example –

Example 1:

Input:  36

output: true

Example 2:

Input:  17

output: false

Example 3:

Input:  1

output: true
