Shuffle Two Strings Problem Statement

You are provided with three strings A, B, and C. The task is to determine if C is formed by interleaving A and B. C is considered an interleaving of A and B if:

  • The length of C equals the sum of the lengths of A and B.
  • All characters from A and B are present in C.
  • The order of characters from A and B is preserved in C.

Example:

Input:
A = "aab", B = "abc", C = "aaabbc"
Output:
True
Explanation:

C contains all characters of A and B in the same order as they appear in A and B, hence True.

Input:
A = "abc", B = "def", C = "abcdefg"
Output:
False
Explanation:

C is not an interleaving as it contains the character 'g', which isn't present in either A or B.

Input:

The first line contains an integer 'T,' the number of test cases. Each test case consists of a single line with three space-separated strings A, B, and C.

Output:

For each test case, output True if C is an interleaving of A and B; otherwise, output False. Results should be printed on separate lines for each test case.

Constraints:

  • 1 ≤ T ≤ 100
  • 1 ≤ |A|, |B| ≤ 1000
  • 1 ≤ |C| ≤ 2000
  • Strings A, B, and C contain only lowercase English letters.
