/**
 * 522 - Longest Uncommon Subsequence II\.
 *
 * Medium
 *
 * Given an array of strings `strs`, return _the length of the **longest uncommon subsequence** between them_. If the longest uncommon subsequence does not exist, return `-1`.
 *
 * An **uncommon subsequence** between an array of strings is a string that is a **subsequence of one string but not the others**.
 *
 * A **subsequence** of a string `s` is a string that can be obtained after deleting any number of characters from `s`.
 *
 * *   For example, `"abc"` is a subsequence of `"aebdc"` because you can delete the underlined characters in `"aebdc"` to get `"abc"`. Other subsequences of `"aebdc"` include `"aebdc"`, `"aeb"`, and `""` (empty string).
 *
 * **Example 1:**
 *
 * **Input:** strs = ["aba","cdc","eae"]
 *
 * **Output:** 3
 *
 * **Example 2:**
 *
 * **Input:** strs = ["aaa","aaa","aa"]
 *
 * **Output:** -1
 *
 * **Constraints:**
 *
 * *   `2 <= strs.length <= 50`
 * *   `1 <= strs[i].length <= 10`
 * *   `strs[i]` consists of lowercase English letters.
