Longest Uncommon Subsequence II

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).
