Etymology 2

Noun

subsequence (plural subsequences)

(computer science) A subset of an array with the same ordering.

Usage notes

In computer science, a subsequence is to be contrasted with a subarray. A subarray must be a contiguous subset of the array, a stronger condition than merely having the same ordering, thus making it a special case of a subsequence.
