    1898 - Maximum Number of Removable Characters\. Medium You are given two strings `s` and `p` where `p` is a **subsequence** of `s`. You are also given a **distinct 0-indexed** integer array `removable` containing a subset of indices of `s` (`s` is also **0-indexed** ). You want to choose an integer `k` (`0 <= k <= removable.length`) such that, after removing `k` characters from `s` using the **first** `k` indices in `removable`, `p` is still a **subsequence** of `s`. More formally, you will mark the character at `s[removable[i]]` for each `0 <= i < k`, then remove all marked characters and check if `p` is still a subsequence. Return _the **maximum**_ `k` _you can choose such that_ `p` _is still a **subsequence** of_ `s` _after the removals_. A **subsequence** of a string is a new string generated from the original string with some characters (can be none) deleted without changing the relative order of the remaining characters. **Example 1:** **Input:** s = "abcacb", p = "ab", removable = [3,1,0] **Output:** 2 **Explanation:** After removing the characters at indices 3 and 1, "a**b**c**a**cb" becomes "accb". "ab" is a subsequence of "**a**cc**b**". If we remove the characters at indices 3, 1, and 0, "**ab**c**a**cb" becomes "ccb", and "ab" is no longer a subsequence. Hence, the maximum k is 2. **Example 2:** **Input:** s = "abcbddddd", p = "abcd", removable = [3,2,1,4,5,6] **Output:** 1 **Explanation:** After removing the character at index 3, "abc**b**ddddd" becomes "abcddddd". "abcd" is a subsequence of "**abcd**dddd". **Example 3:** **Input:** s = "abcab", p = "abc", removable = [0,1,2,3,4] **Output:** 0 **Explanation:** If you remove the first index in the array removable, "abc" is no longer a subsequence. **Constraints:** * 1 <= p.length <= s.length <= 105 * `0 <= removable.length < s.length` * `0 <= removable[i] < s.length` * `p` is a **subsequence** of `s`. * `s` and `p` both consist of lowercase English letters. * The elements in `removable` are **distinct**.
