Longest Repeating Character Replacement
Given a string that consists of only uppercase English letters, you can replace any letter in the string with another letter at most k times. Find the length of a longest substring containing all repeating letters you can get after performing the above operations.
Note: Both the string's length and k will not exceed 104.
Example 1:
Input:
s = "ABAB", k = 2
Output:
4
Explanation:
Replace the two 'A's with two 'B's or vice versa.
Example 2:
Input:
s = "AABABBA", k = 1
Output:
4
Explanation:
Replace the one 'A' in the middle with 'B' and form "AABBBBA".
The substring "BBBB" has the longest repeating letters, which is 4.
Solution
public class Solution {
public int characterReplacement(String s, int k) {
int maxLen = 0;
for(int l = 0; l< 26;l++) {
char c = (char)('A' + l);
int i = 0, j = 0, count = 0;
while(j < s.length()) {
char cur = s.charAt(j);
if(cur != c) count ++;
while(count > k) {
if(s.charAt(i) != c) count --;
i ++;
}
maxLen = Math.max(maxLen, j - i + 1);
j ++;
}
}
return maxLen;
}
}
