Maximum Times Word Removed
🤘 INTERN

Amazon Engineering maintains a large number of logs of operations across all products. A software engineer is debugging an issue in a product. An efficient way to analyze logs is to write automated scripts to check for patterns. The engineer wants to find the maximum number of times a target word can be obtained by rearranging a subset of characters in a log entry.

Given a log entry s and target word t, the target word can be obtained by selecting some subset of characters from s that can be rearranged to form string t and removing them from s. Determine the maximum number of times the target word can be removed from the given log entry.

Note: Both strings s and t consist only of lowercase English letters.
