1092\. Shortest Common Supersequence

Hard

Given two strings `str1` and `str2`, return _the shortest string that has both_ `str1` _and_ `str2` _as **subsequences**_. If there are multiple valid strings, return **any** of them.

A string `s` is a **subsequence** of string `t` if deleting some number of characters from `t` (possibly `0`) results in the string `s`.

**Example 1:**

**Input:** str1 = "abac", str2 = "cab"

**Output:** "cabac"

**Explanation:**

str1 = "abac" is a subsequence of "cabac" because we can delete the first "c".

str2 = "cab" is a subsequence of "cabac" because we can delete the last "ac".

The answer provided is the shortest such string that satisfies these properties.

**Example 2:**

**Input:** str1 = "aaaaaaaa", str2 = "aaaaaaaa"

**Output:** "aaaaaaaa"

**Constraints:**

*   `1 <= str1.length, str2.length <= 1000`
*   `str1` and `str2` consist of lowercase English letters.
