Given a string s and a non-empty string p, find all the start indices of p's anagrams in s.
Strings consists of lowercase English letters only and the length of both strings s and p will not be larger than 20,100.
The order of output does not matter.
Example 1:
Input: s: "cbaebabacd" p: "abc" Output: [0, 6] Explanation: The substring with start index = 0 is "cba", which is an anagram of "abc". The substring with start index = 6 is "bac", which is an anagram of "abc".
Example 2:
Input: s: "abab" p: "ab" Output: [0, 1, 2] Explanation: The substring with start index = 0 is "ab", which is an anagram of "ab". The substring with start index = 1 is "ba", which is an anagram of "ab". The substring with start index = 2 is "ab", which is an anagram of "ab".
官方解答:
Among all leetcode questions, I find that there are at least 5 substring search problem which could be solved by the sliding window algorithm.
so I sum up the algorithm template here. wish it will help you!
- the template:
public class Solution {
public List<Integer> slidingWindowTemplateByHarryChaoyangHe(String s, String t) {
//init a collection or int value to save the result according the question.
List<Integer> result = new LinkedList<>();
if(t.length()> s.length()) return result;
//create a hashmap to save the Characters of the target substring.
//(K, V) = (Character, Frequence of the Characters)
Map<Character, Integer> map = new HashMap<>();
for(char c : t.toCharArray()){
map.put(c, map.getOrDefault(c, 0) + 1);
}
//maintain a counter to check whether match the target string.
int counter = map.size();//must be the map size, NOT the string size because the char may be duplicate.
//Two Pointers: begin - left pointer of the window; end - right pointer of the window
int begin = 0, end = 0;
//the length of the substring which match the target string.
int len = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
//loop at the begining of the source string
while(end < s.length()){
char c = s.charAt(end);//get a character
if( map.containsKey(c) ){
map.put(c, map.get(c)-1);// plus or minus one
if(map.get(c) == 0) counter--;//modify the counter according the requirement(different condition).
}
end++;
//increase begin pointer to make it invalid/valid again
while(counter == 0 /* counter condition. different question may have different condition */){
char tempc = s.charAt(begin);//***be careful here: choose the char at begin pointer, NOT the end pointer
if(map.containsKey(tempc)){
map.put(tempc, map.get(tempc) + 1);//plus or minus one
if(map.get(tempc) > 0) counter++;//modify the counter according the requirement(different condition).
}
/* save / update(min/max) the result if find a target*/
// result collections or result int value
begin++;
}
}
return result;
}
}
- Firstly, here is my sliding solution this question. I will sum up the template below this code.
2) the similar questions are:

https://leetcode.com/problems/longest-substring-without-repeating-characters/
https://leetcode.com/problems/substring-with-concatenation-of-all-words/
https://leetcode.com/problems/longest-substring-with-at-most-two-distinct-characters/
https://leetcode.com/problems/find-all-anagrams-in-a-string/
3) I will give my solution for these questions use the above template one by one
Minimum-window-substring
https://leetcode.com/problems/minimum-window-substring/
public class Solution {
public String minWindow(String s, String t) {
if(t.length()> s.length()) return "";
Map<Character, Integer> map = new HashMap<>();
for(char c : t.toCharArray()){
map.put(c, map.getOrDefault(c,0) + 1);
}
int counter = map.size();
int begin = 0, end = 0;
int head = 0;
int len = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
while(end < s.length()){
char c = s.charAt(end);
if( map.containsKey(c) ){
map.put(c, map.get(c)-1);
if(map.get(c) == 0) counter--;
}
end++;
while(counter == 0){
char tempc = s.charAt(begin);
if(map.containsKey(tempc)){
map.put(tempc, map.get(tempc) + 1);
if(map.get(tempc) > 0){
counter++;
}
}
if(end-begin < len){
len = end - begin;
head = begin;
}
begin++;
}
}
if(len == Integer.MAX_VALUE) return "";
return s.substring(head, head+len);
}
}
you may find that I only change a little code above to solve the question “Find All Anagrams in a String”:
change
if(end-begin < len){
len = end - begin;
head = begin;
}
to
if(end-begin == t.length()){
result.add(begin);
}
