[LintCode] Longest Substring Without Repeating Characters

Posted 2020-08-14 Grandyang

 

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

Have you met this question in a real interview? 

Yes

Example

For example, the longest substring without repeating letters for"abcabcbb" is "abc", which the length is 3.

For "bbbbb" the longest substring is "b", with the length of 1.

Challenge 

O(n) time

解法一：

class Solution {
public:
    /**
     * @param s: a string
     * @return: an integer 
     */
    int lengthOfLongestSubstring(string s) {
        int res = 0, left = -1;
        vector<int> m(256, -1);
        for (int i = 0; i < s.size(); ++i) {
            left = max(left, m[s[i]]);
            m[s[i]] = i;
            res = max(res, i - left);
        }
        return res;
    }
};

 

解法二：

class Solution {
public:
    /**
     * @param s: a string
     * @return: an integer 
     */
    int lengthOfLongestSubstring(string s) {
        int res = 0, left = 0, right = 0;
        unordered_set<char> st;
        while (right < s.size()) {
            if (!st.count(s[right])) {
                st.insert(s[right++]);
                res = max(res, (int)st.size());
            } else {
                st.erase(s[left++]);
            }
        }
        return res;
    }
};
