/**
 * Is Subsequence
 *
 * Given two strings s and t, return true if s is a subsequence of t, or false otherwise.
 * A subsequence of a string is a new string that is formed from the original string by deleting some (can be none)
 * of the characters without disturbing the relative positions of the remaining characters. (i.e., "ace" is a
 * subsequence of "abcde" while "aec" is not).
 *
 * Example 1:
 * Input: s = "abc", t = "ahbgdc"
 * Output: true
 *
 * Example 2:
 * Input: s = "axc", t = "ahbgdc"
 * Output: false
