2370\. Longest Ideal Subsequence

Medium

You are given a string `s` consisting of lowercase letters and an integer `k`. We call a string `t` **ideal** if the following conditions are satisfied:

*   `t` is a **subsequence** of the string `s`.
*   The absolute difference in the alphabet order of every two **adjacent** letters in `t` is less than or equal to `k`.

Return _the length of the **longest** ideal string_.

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.

**Note** that the alphabet order is not cyclic. For example, the absolute difference in the alphabet order of `'a'` and `'z'` is `25`, not `1`.

**Example 1:**

**Input:** s = "acfgbd", k = 2

**Output:** 4

**Explanation:** The longest ideal string is "acbd". The length of this string is 4, so 4 is returned. Note that "acfgbd" is not ideal because 'c' and 'f' have a difference of 3 in alphabet order.

**Example 2:**

**Input:** s = "abcd", k = 3

**Output:** 4

**Explanation:** The longest ideal string is "abcd". The length of this string is 4, so 4 is returned.

**Constraints:**

*   1 <= s.length <= 105
*   `0 <= k <= 25`
*   `s` consists of lowercase English letters.
