Given a string, find the length of the longest substring without repeating characters.
Examples:
Given "abcabcbb", the answer is "abc", which the length is 3.
Given "bbbbb", the answer is "b", with the length of 1.
Given "pwwkew", 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.
Solution 1:
Approach: brute force
Time Complexity: O(n^2)
Space Complexity: O(n)
public class Solution {
public int lengthOfLongestSubstring(String s) {
if(s.length()==0||s==null) return 0;
boolean[] exist=new boolean[256];
int max=0;
int start=0;
for(int i=0; i<s.length(); i++){
if(exist[s.charAt(i)]){
for(int j=start; j<i; j++){
if(s.charAt(j)==s.charAt(i)){
start=j+1;
break;
}
exist[s.charAt(j)]=false;
}
}else{
exist[s.charAt(i)]=true;
max=Math.max(max, i-start+1);
}
}
return max;
}
}
Solution 2:
Approach: Hash Table
Time complexity: O(n)
Space complexity: O(n)
public class Solution {
public int lengthOfLongestSubstring(String s) {
if(s.length()==0||s==null) return 0;
HashMap<Character, Integer> hashMap=new HashMap<Character, Integer>();
int max=0;
int start=0;
for(int i=0; i<s.length(); i++){
if(hashMap.containsKey(s.charAt(i))){
max=Math.max(max, hashMap.size());
while(hashMap.containsKey(s.charAt(i))){
hashMap.remove(s.charAt(start));
start++;
}
hashMap.put(s.charAt(i), i);
}else{
hashMap.put(s.charAt(i), i);
max=Math.max(max, hashMap.size());
}
}
return max;
}
}
