3. Longest Substring Without Repeating Characters

Medium

Given a string s, find the length of the longest substring without repeating characters.

Example 1:

Input: s = “abcabcbb”

Output: 3

Explanation: The answer is “abc”, with the length of 3.

Example 2:

Input: s = “bbbbb”

Output: 1

Explanation: The answer is “b”, with the length of 1.

Example 3:

Input: s = “pwwkew”

Output: 3

Explanation: The answer is “wke”, with the length of 3. Notice that the answer must be a substring, “pwke” is a subsequence and not a substring.

Example 4:

Input: s = “”

Output: 0

Constraints:

Solution

-spec length_of_longest_substring(S :: unicode:unicode_binary()) -> integer().
length_of_longest_substring(S) ->
    do(S, 0, #{}, 0, 1).

do(<<Char, Rest/binary>>, Index, PrevPos, Max, Acc0) when is_map_key(Char, PrevPos) ->
    PrevIndex = map_get(Char, PrevPos),
    Acc1 = Index - PrevIndex,
    Acc = min(Acc1, Acc0),
    do(Rest, Index + 1, PrevPos#{Char => Index}, max(Max, Acc), Acc + 1);
do(<<Char, Rest/binary>>, Index, PrevPos, Max, Acc) when Acc > Max ->
    do(Rest, Index + 1, PrevPos#{Char => Index}, Acc, Acc + 1);
do(<<Char, Rest/binary>>, Index, PrevPos, Max, Acc) ->
    do(Rest, Index + 1, PrevPos#{Char => Index}, Max, Acc + 1);

do(<<>>, _, _, Max, _) -> Max.
