392. Is Subsequence
Difficulty: Easy
https://leetcode.com/problems/is-subsequence/
──────────────────────────────────────────────────
Given two strings s and t, return true if s is a subsequence of t, or
false otherwise.
A subsequence of a string is a new string that is formed from the
original string by deleting some (can be none) of the characters
without disturbing the relative positions of the remaining characters.
(i.e., "ace" is a subsequence of "abcde" while "aec" is not).
Example 1:
Input: s = "abc", t = "ahbgdc"
Output: true
Example 2:
Input: s = "axc", t = "ahbgdc"
Output: false
Constraints:
• 0 <= s.length <= 100
• 0 <= t.length <= 10^4
• s and t consist only of lowercase English letters.
Follow up: Suppose there are lots of incoming s, say s1, s2, ..., sk
where k >= 10^9, and you want to check one by one to see if t has its
subsequence. In this scenario, how would you change your code?

11. Container With Most Water
Difficulty: Medium
https://leetcode.com/problems/container-with-most-water/
──────────────────────────────────────────────────
You are given an integer array height of length n. There are n
vertical lines drawn such that the two endpoints of the i^th line are
(i, 0) and (i, height[i]).
Find two lines that together with the x-axis form a container, such
that the container contains the most water.
Return the maximum amount of water a container can store.
Notice that you may not slant the container.
Example 1:
Input: height = [1,8,6,2,5,4,8,3,7]
Output: 49
Explanation: The above vertical lines are represented by array
[1,8,6,2,5,4,8,3,7]. In this case, the max area of water (blue
section) the container can contain is 49.
Example 2:
Input: height = [1,1]
Output: 1
Constraints:
• n == height.length
• 2 <= n <= 10^5
• 0 <= height[i] <= 10^4
