Description
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.
My code :
java:
public class Solution {
public int lengthOfLongestSubstring(String s) {
int n = s.length();
int ans = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
for (int j = i + 1; j <= n; j++)
if (allUnique(s, i, j)) ans = Math.max(ans, j - i);
return ans;
}
public boolean allUnique(String s, int start, int end) {
Set<Character> set = new HashSet<>();
for (int i = start; i < end; i++) {
Character ch = s.charAt(i);
if (set.contains(ch)) return false;
set.add(ch);
}
return true;
}
}
But the result is Time Limit Exceeded.
Optimized code:
java:
public class Solution {
public int lengthOfLongestSubstring(String s) {
int n = s.length();
Set<Character> set = new HashSet<>();
int ans = 0;
int i = 0, j = 0;
while (i < n && j < n) {
if (!set.contains(s.charAt(j))){
set.add(s.charAt(j++));
ans = Math.max(ans, j-i);
}
else {
set.remove(s.charAt(i++));
}
}
return ans;
}
}
- Time complexity : O(2n)=O(n).
- Space complexity : O(min(m,n)).
Better code:
java:
public class Solution {
public int lengthOfLongestSubstring(String s) {
int n = s.length(), ans = 0;
Map<Character, Integer> map = new HashMap<>();
for (int j = 0, i = 0; j < n; j++) {
if (map.containsKey(s.charAt(j))) {
i = Math.max(map.get(s.charAt(j)), i);
}
ans = Math.max(ans, j-i+1);
map.put(s.charAt(j), j+1);
}
return ans;
}
}
