Hi, 

Given two strings, String A and String B, write a function to return whether or not String A is a subsequence of String B. For String A to be a subsequence of String B it must be able to be derived from it by deleting some number of elements (without changing the order of the elements).

For example:

    

# Inputs:

String A = 'race'

String B = 'razcecar'

#Output: True

-------------

#Inputs:

String A = 'xyz'

String B = 'wyzx'

#Output: False
