The '''[[wp:shortest common supersequence|shortest common supersequence]]''' is a problem closely related to the [[longest common subsequence]], which you can use as an external function for this task.
 
 
Given two strings <math>u</math> and <math>v</math>, find the shortest possible sequence <math>s</math>, which is the shortest common supersequence of <math>u</math> and <math>v</math> where both <math>u</math> and <math>v</math> are a subsequence of <math>s</math>. Defined as such, <math>s</math> is not necessarily unique.
;Task:
Given two strings <math>u</math> and <math>v</math>, find the shortest possible sequence <math>s</math>, which is the shortest common supersequencesuper-sequence of <math>u</math> and <math>v</math> where both <math>u</math> and <math>v</math> are a subsequence of <math>s</math>. Defined as such, <math>s</math> is not necessarily unique.
 
Demonstrate this by printing <math>s</math> where <math>u = </math>“<tt>abcbdab</tt>” and <math>v = </math>“<tt>bdcaba</tt>”.
