#C5789. Shortest Color Subsequence
Shortest Color Subsequence
Shortest Color Subsequence
You are given a sequence of colors represented by integers and a set of target colors. Your task is to determine the length of the shortest contiguous subsequence of the given sequence that contains all the target colors at least once.
Formally, given a sequence \( S = [s_1, s_2, \dots, s_n] \) and a set of target colors \( T \) with \(|T|=m\), find the minimum length \( L = j - i + 1 \) such that the subsequence \( [s_i, s_{i+1}, \dots, s_j] \) contains every color in \( T \) at least once. If no such subsequence exists, output -1.
This problem can be solved using the sliding window technique.
inputFormat
The first line contains two integers \( n \) and \( m \), representing the number of elements in the color sequence and the number of target colors respectively.
The second line contains \( n \) space-separated integers representing the color sequence.
The third line contains \( m \) space-separated integers representing the target color set.
outputFormat
Output one integer on a single line: the length of the shortest contiguous subsequence that contains all target colors at least once, or -1 if no such subsequence exists.
