Longest Uncommon Subsequence II

arrayhash tabletwo pointers

Problem Statement

Given an array of strings strs , return the length of the longest uncommon subsequence between them . If the longest uncommon subsequence does not exist, return -1 .

An uncommon subsequence between an array of strings is a string that is a subsequence of one string but not the others .

A subsequence of a string s is a string that can be obtained after deleting any number of characters from s .

For example, "abc" is a subsequence of "aebdc" because you can delete the underlined characters in "a e b d c" to get "abc" . Other subsequences of "aebdc" include "aebdc" , "aeb" , and "" (empty string).

Examples

Example 1
Input: strs = ["aba","cdc","eae"]
Output: 3
Example 2
Input: strs = ["aaa","aaa","aa"]
Output: -1

Constraints

2 <= strs.length <= 50
1 <= strs[i].length <= 10
strs[i] consists of lowercase English letters.
