424. Longest Repeating Character Replacement
Medium
LeetCode
Hash Table, String, Sliding Window
Problem
You are given a string s and an integer k. You can choose any character of the string and change it to any other uppercase English character. You can perform this operation at most k times.
Return the length of the longest substring containing the same letter you can get after performing the above operations.
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.
Code
class Solution {
public int characterReplacement(String s, int k) {
int[] dict = new int[26];
int start = 0;
int maxCount = 0;
int res = 0;
for (int end = 0; end < s.length(); end++) {
maxCount = Math.max(maxCount, ++dict[s.charAt(end) - 'A']);
if (end - start + 1 - maxCount > k) {
dict[s.charAt(start) - 'A']--;
start++;
}
res = Math.max(res, end - start + 1);
}
return res;
}
}
