CPRMT - Common Permutation
Given two strings of lowercase letters, a and b, print the longest string x of lowercase letters such that there is a permutation of x that is a subsequence of a and there is a permutation of x that is a subsequence of b.
Input
Input file contains several lines of input. Consecutive two lines make a set of input. That means in the input file line 1 and 2 is a set of input, line 3 and 4 is a set of input and so on. The first line of a pair contains a and the second contains b. Each string is on a separate line and consists of at most 1000 lowercase letters.
Output
For each set of input, output a line containing x. If several x satisfy the criteria above, choose the first one in alphabetical order.
Example
Sample input: pretty women walking down the street Sample output: e nw et

Looks difficult but simple AC in 0.00 with arrays. |

Why does DP approach fail here? I got a WA using DP but A/C using simple logic. |
