Subsequence
In mathematics, a subsequence of a given sequence is a sequence that can be derived from the given sequence by deleting some or no elements without changing the order of the remaining elements. For example, the sequence ⟨ A , B , D ⟩ {\displaystyle \langle A,B,D\rangle } is a subsequence of ⟨ A , B , C , D , E , F ⟩ {\displaystyle \langle A,B,C,D,E,F\rangle } obtained after removal of elements C , {\displaystyle C,} E , {\displaystyle E,} and F . {\displaystyle F.} The relation of one sequence being the subsequence of another is a preorder. Subsequences can contain consecutive elements which were not consecutive in the original sequence. A subsequence which consists of a consecutive run of elements from the original sequence, such as ⟨ B , C , D ⟩ , {\displaystyle \langle B,C,D\rangle ,} from ⟨ A , B , C , D , E , F ⟩ , {\displaystyle \langle A,B,C,D,E,F\rangle ,} is a substring. The substring is a refinement of the subsequence. The list of all subsequences for the word "apple" would be "a", "ap", "al", "ae", "app", "apl", "ape", "ale", "appl", "appe", "aple", "apple", "p", "pp", "pl", "pe", "ppl", "ppe", "ple", "pple", "l", "le", "e", "" (empty string).

subsequence
A subsequence is a sequence that can be derived from another sequence by deleting some or no elements without changing the order of the remaining elements. It is a representation of certain elements within the original sequence while still maintaining their relative order. For instance, in the sequence (1, 2, 3, 4, 5), (2, 4) and (1, 3, 5) are subsequences.

Subsequence
In mathematics, a subsequence is a sequence that can be derived from another sequence by deleting some elements without changing the order of the remaining elements. For example, the sequence is a subsequence of . Given two sequences X and Y, a sequence G is said to be a common subsequence of X and Y, if G is a subsequence of both X and Y. For example, if then a common subsequence of X and Y could be This would not be the longest common subsequence, since G only has length 3, and the common subsequence has length 4. The longest common subsequence of X and Y is .
