Virus Outbreak (100 Marks)
In the Martian land faraway, a new virus has evolved and is attacking the individuals at a fast pace. The
scientists have figured out the virus composition, V. The big task is to identify the people who are infected.
The sample of N people is taken to check if they are POSITIVE or NEGATIVE. A report is generated which
provides the current blood composition B of the person.
POSITIVE or NEGATIVE ?
If the blood composition of the person is a subsequence of the virus composition V, then the person is
identified as POSITIVE otherwise NEGATIVE.

Example:
Virus Composition, V = coronavirus
Blood Composition of the person , B = ravus
The person in question is POSITIVE as B is the subsequence of the V.
The scientists are busy with their research for medicine and request you to build a program which can
quickly figure out if the person is POSITIVE or NEGATIVE. They will provide you with the virus composition
V and all the people's current blood composition. Can you help them?
Note: The virus and blood compositions are lowercase alphabet strings.write a program in c

Answer:
# Iterative Python program to check if a
# string is a subsequence of another string
# Returns true if str1 is a subsequence of str2
def main(str1, str2):
m = len(str1)
n = len(str2)
j = 0 # Index of str1
i = 0 # Index of str2
# Traverse both str1 and str2
# Compare the current character of str2 with
# first unmatched character of str1
# If matched, then move ahead in str1
while j < m and i < n:
if str1[j] == str2[i]:
j = j+1
i = i + 1
# If all characters of str1 matched,
# then j is equal to m
return j == m
# Driver Program
str2 = str(input())
N = int(input())
for i in range(N):
str1 = str(input())
if main(str1, str2):
print("POSITIVE")
else:
print( "NEGATIVE")
