        the owner of that post deleted the post.

        if you want to have good contests, you need to solve more problems rated 1700+.

Count the number of appearances of each character, let's store them in an array $$$c$$$, such that $$$c_1$$$ is the number of a's, $$$c_2$$$ is the number of b's, and so on. Now, for each character, we can either choose one of its appearances and add it into a subsequence, or not add the character at all. So we have $$$c_i+1$$$ possibilities for character $$$i$$$. Now we just multiply the number of possibilities for each character and we get the result.
