|
| 3 | + input : String s |
| 4 | + output : after k times operation, return length of longest substring |
| 5 | + that consist of same letters |
| 6 | +
|
| 7 | + example |
| 8 | + AAAA << 4 |
| 9 | + AAAB << AAA << 3 |
| 10 | +
|
| 11 | + constraints: |
| 12 | + 1) input string can be empty? |
| 13 | + nope. at least one letter |
| 14 | + 2) string s contains whitespace? non-alphabetical chars? |
| 15 | + nope. only uppercase English letters |
| 16 | + 3) range of k? |
| 17 | + [0, n], when n is the length of string s |
| 18 | +
|
| 19 | + ABAB |
| 20 | + AAAB |
| 21 | + AAAA |
| 22 | +
|
| 23 | + AABABBA |
| 24 | + AAAABBA |
| 25 | + AABBBBA |

|
| 33 | + solution 1: brute force |
| 34 | + ds : array |
| 35 | + algo : for loop |
| 36 | +
|
| 37 | + nested for loop |
| 38 | + iterate through the string s from index i = 0 to n |
| 39 | + set current character as 'target' |
| 40 | + set count = 0 |
| 41 | + iterate through the string s from index j = i + 1 to n |
| 42 | + if next character is identical to 'target' |
| 43 | + continue; |
| 44 | + else |
| 45 | + increase count; |
| 46 | +
|
| 47 | + if count > k |
| 48 | + break and save length |
| 49 | +
|
| 50 | + if count <=k compare length with max |
| 51 | + ABAB |
| 52 | + i |
| 53 | + j |
| 54 | + target = A |
| 55 | + count = 1 |
