Shortest Common Supersequence

The shortest common supersequence (SCS) of two sequences X and Y is the shortest sequence which has X and Y as subsequences.

In other words assume we're given two strings str1 and str2, find the shortest string that has both str1 and str2 as subsequences.

This is a problem closely related to the longest common subsequence problem.

Example

Input: str1 = "geek", str2 = "eke" Output: "geeke" Input: str1 = "AGGTAB", str2 = "GXTXAYB" Output: "AGXGTXAYB"
