subsequence
Preserved order extraction
A subsequence is a sequence derived from another by selecting some elements while maintaining their original order, though not necessarily consecutively.
In the string ABCDEF, ACE is a subsequence but CAE is not.
The term appears mainly in mathematics and computer science, particularly in algorithms analyzing patterns within ordered data.
