Given a string, find the length of the longest substring without repeating characters.
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.
给一个字符串,让我们求最长的无重复字符的子串得长度。
思路:遍历字符串,将字符存在HashMap中,建立每个字符和其最后出现位置之间的映射,然后我们定义两个变量res和left,其中res用来记录最长无重复子串的长度,left指向该无重复子串左边的起始位置的前一个,由于是前一个,所以初始化就是-1,然后我们遍历整个字符串,对于每一个遍历到的字符,如果该字符已经在HashMap中存在了,并且如果其映射值大于left的话,那么更新left为当前映射值。然后映射值更新为当前坐标i,这样保证了left始终为当前边界的前一个位置,然后计算长度的时候,直接用i-left即可,用来更新结果res,通过max即时选择res极大值即可,遍历结束获得res最大值。
//C++
class Solution {
public:
int lengthOfLongestSubstring(string s) {
int res = 0, left = -1, n = s.size();
unordered_map<int, int> m;
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
if (m.count(s[i]) && m[s[i]] > left) {
left = m[s[i]];
}
m[s[i]] = i;
res = max(res, i - left);
}
return res;
}
};
