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.
Explaining:
用一個 prevShown 紀錄此字元 c 上次出現是什麼時候, 用 start 代表答案 substring 的頭,
如果 start 比 c 上一次出現的 index 小, 更新 start 為 map[c],
然後每次 for 迴圈更新 maxLen 值。
Solution:
/**
* @param {string} s
* @return {number}
*/
var lengthOfLongestSubstring = function(s) {
if (s.length <= 1) return s.length;
let maxLen = 0;
let start = 0;
let prevShown = {};
s.split('').forEach((c, i) => {
if (c in prevShown && start <= prevShown[c]) {
start = prevShown[c] + 1;
}
prevShown[c] = i;
maxLen = Math.max(maxLen, i - start + 1);
});
return maxLen;
};
