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


Test Cases

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.

Solution

class Solution {
public:
    int lengthOfLongestSubstring(string s) {
        int n = s.length();
        int maxLength = 0;
        vector<int> charIndex(128, -1);
        int left = 0;

        for (int right = 0; right < n; right++) {
            if (charIndex[s[right]] >= left) {
                left = charIndex[s[right]] + 1;
            }
            charIndex[s[right]] = right;
            maxLength = max(maxLength, right - left + 1);
        }

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

        for i in range(len(s)):
            if s[i] in mp:
                start = max(start, mp[s[i]] + 1)
            mxl = max(mxl, i - start + 1)
            mp[s[i]] = i
        return mxl

    const map = new Map<string, number>();
    let index = 0, start = 0, maxlength = 0;
    while(index < s.length) {
        if (map.has(s[index])) {
            start = Math.max(start, map.get(s[index])+1);
        }
        maxlength = Math.max(maxlength, index-start+1);
        map.set(s[index], index);
        index++;
    }
    return maxlength;
