// 2311. Longest Binary Subsequence Less Than or Equal to K
#include "leetcode.h"

/*
 * you are given a binary string 's' and a positive integer 'k'. return the
 * length of the longest subsequence of 's' that makes up a binary number less
 * than or equal to 'k'. note the subsequence can contain leading zeros, the
 * empty string is considered to be equal to 0, and a subsequence is a string
 * that can be derived from another string by deleting some or no characters
 * without changing the order of the remaining characters.
