题目：

Given a string and a string dictionary, find the longest string in the dictionary that can be formed by deleting some characters of the given string. If there are more than one possible results, return the longest word with the smallest lexicographical order. If there is no possible result, return the empty string.

Example 1:

Input:
s = "abpcplea", d = ["ale","apple","monkey","plea"]

Output: 
"apple"

Example 2:

Input:
s = "abpcplea", d = ["a","b","c"]

Output: 
"a"

Note:

1. All the strings in the input will only contain lower-case letters.
2. The size of the dictionary won‘t exceed 1,000.
3. The length of all the strings in the input won‘t exceed 1,000.

题解：

For each word in the string dictionary, try to compare it with s. If there is a char in s matching current pointed char in word, move the index. 

If the index could move to end of word, it means word could be formed by deleting some characters of s.

Then update res based on length lexicographical order of word.

Time Complexity: O(m*n). m = s.length(). n = d.size().

Space: O(1). regardless res.

AC Java:

 1 class Solution {
 2     public String findLongestWord(String s, List<String> d) {
 3         if(s == null || d == null || d.size() == 0){
 4             return "";
 5         }
 6         
 7         String res = "";
 8         for(String word : d){
 9             int i = 0;
10             for(char c : s.toCharArray()){
11                 if(i<word.length() && c == word.charAt(i)){
12                     i++;
13                 }
14             }
15             
16             if(i == word.length()){
17                 if(res.length() < word.length()){
18                     res = word;
19                 }else if(res.length() == word.length() && res.compareTo(word)>0){
20                     res = word;
21                 }
22             }
23         }
24         
25         return res;
26     }
27 }
