Longest Substring Without Repeating Characters
*Given a string, find the length of the longest substring without repeating characters.
Examples:
Given “abcabcbb”, the answer is “abc”, which the length is 3.
Given “bbbbb”, the answer is “b”, with the length of 1.
Given “pwwkew”, the answer is “wke”, with the length of 3. Note that the answer must be a substring, “pwke” is a subsequence and not a substring.*
解题过程 :
可以利用hashmap存储子字符串,单个字符作为key,位置作为value。用两个指针扫描字符串和子串,移动字符串上指针,当指向的值在子串中已经存在,记录此时子串长度。取长度最大的子串为所求。
public int lengthOfLongestSubstring(String s) {
if (s.length()==0) return 0;
HashMap<Character, Integer> map = new HashMap<Character, Integer>();
int max=0;
for (int i=0, j=0; i<s.length(); ++i){
if (map.containsKey(s.charAt(i))){
j = Math.max(j,map.get(s.charAt(i))+1);
}
map.put(s.charAt(i),i);
max = Math.max(max,i-j+1);
}
return max;
}
