Leetcode Solutions

Check if all characters of target are present in source. If not, return -1.
Initialize two pointers: sourcePointer to 0 and targetPointer to 0.
Initialize a counter count to 1.
While targetPointer is less than the length of target: a. If sourcePointer is equal to the length of source, reset it to 0 and increment count. b. If the character at sourcePointer matches the character at targetPointer, increment both pointers. c. Otherwise, increment only sourcePointer.
Once all characters in target are matched, return count.
