Solution: when see question about two strings , DP should be considered first.
We can abstract this question to calculate appear times for string T with length i in string S with length j, which can be represented by numbers[i][j], then through observation and thinking , we can know for numbers[i][j] it should at least equal the numbers[i][j-1] and if T.charAt(i)==S.charAt(j) , numbers[i][j] should also be add numbers[i-1][j-1]
