Two Pointers
Warm-up
Secret Transmission
A spy is checking if a 'shortcode' is hidden within a larger transmission. A shortcode is hidden if all its characters appear in the transmission in the same relative order (though they don't have to be adjacent).
Input Format:
Two lines. The first line is the shortcode, and the second line is the full transmission string.
Output Format:
Print 'YES' if the shortcode is a subsequence of the transmission, otherwise print 'NO'.
Example:
Input:
ace
abcde
Output: YES
