Description
Given a string, find the length of the longest substring without repeating characters.
Example
Example 1:
Input: “abcabcbb”
Output: 3
Explanation: The answer is “abc”, with the length of 3.
Example 2:
Input: “bbbbb”
Output: 1
Explanation: The answer is “b”, with the length of 1.
Example 3:
Input: “pwwkew”
Output: 3
Explanation: 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.
Code
class Solution {
public int lengthOfLongestSubstring(String s) {
int n = s.length();
Set<Character> set = new HashSet<>();
int ans = 0, i = 0, j = 0;
while (i < n && j < n) {
// try to extend the range [i, j]
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;
}
}
