Contar substrings com k caracteres distintos

Dada uma string s consistindo apenas de letras minúsculas em inglês e um número inteiro k, conte o número total de substrings (não necessariamente distintas) de s que contêm exatamente k caracteres distintos.
Observação:

  • Uma substring é uma sequência contígua de caracteres dentro de uma string.
  • Substrings que são idênticas, mas ocorrem em posições diferentes, devem ser contadas separadamente.

Exemplos:  

Entrada: s = 'abc' k = 2
Saída: 2
Explicação: Substrings possíveis são ['ab' 'bc']

Entrada: s = 'aba' k = 2
Saída: 3
Explicação: Substrings possíveis são ['ab' 'ba' 'aba']

Entrada: s = 'AA' k = 1
Saída: 3
Explicação: Substrings possíveis são ['a' 'a' 'aa']

[Abordagem ingênua] Verificando todas as substrings - tempo O (n ^ 2) e espaço O (1)

A ideia é verificar todas as substrings possíveis iterando todas as posições iniciais (i) e finais (j) possíveis na string. Para cada substring, mantenha uma matriz booleana para rastrear caracteres distintos e um contador para o número de caracteres distintos. À medida que expande a substring da esquerda para a direita, ele atualiza a contagem de caracteres distintos, verificando se cada novo caractere foi visto antes. Sempre que o número de caracteres distintos corresponder exatamente ao k fornecido, ele incrementará a contagem de respostas.

[Abordagem Eficiente] Usando o Método de Janela Deslizante - O(n) tempo e O(1) espaço

A ideia é usar janela deslizante técnica para contar substrings com eficiência com no máximo k caracteres distintos e, em seguida, subtrair a contagem de substrings com no máximo k-1 caracteres distintos para obter o número de substrings com exatamente k caracteres distintos.

Implementação passo a passo:

  • Use uma janela deslizante com uma matriz de tamanho 26 para rastrear as frequências dos caracteres.
  • Expanda a janela à direita adicionando caracteres.
  • Reduza a janela da esquerda quando caracteres distintos excederem k.
  • Conte todas as substrings válidas na janela.
  • Subtraia substrings com k-1 caracteres distintos de k caracteres distintos.
