3. Longest Substring Without Repeating Characters

中文文档

Description

Given a string s, find the length of the longest substring without repeating characters.

 

Example 1:

Input: s = "abcabcbb"
Output: 3
Explanation: The answer is "abc", with the length of 3.

Example 2:

Input: s = "bbbbb"
Output: 1
Explanation: The answer is "b", with the length of 1.

Example 3:

Input: s = "pwwkew"
Output: 3
Explanation: The answer is "wke", with the length of 3.
Notice that the answer must be a substring, "pwke" is a subsequence and not a substring.

Example 4:

Input: s = ""
Output: 0

 

Constraints:

• 0 <= s.length <= 5 * 104
• s consists of English letters, digits, symbols and spaces.

Solutions

Python3

class Solution:
    def lengthOfLongestSubstring(self, s: str) -> int:
        res, chars = 0, dict()
        i = j = 0
        while j < len(s):
            if s[j] in chars:
                i = max(i, chars[s[j]] + 1)
            res = max(res, j - i + 1)
            chars[s[j]] = j
            j += 1
        return res

Java

class Solution {
    public int lengthOfLongestSubstring(String s) {
        int res = 0;
        Map<Character, Integer> chars = new HashMap<>();
        for (int i = 0, j = 0; j < s.length(); ++j) {
            char c = s.charAt(j);
            if (chars.containsKey(c)) {
                i = Math.max(i, chars.get(c) + 1);
            }
            chars.put(c, j);
            res = Math.max(res, j - i + 1);
        }
        return res;
    }
}
