Given a string s, return the maximum number of occurrences of any substring under the following rules:
The number of unique characters in the substring must be less than or equal to maxLetters.
The substring size must be between minSize and maxSize inclusive.
Example 1:
Input: s = "aababcaab", maxLetters = 2, minSize = 3, maxSize = 4
Output: 2
Explanation: Substring "aab" has 2 occurrences in the original string.
It satisfies the conditions, 2 unique letters and size 3 (between minSize and maxSize).
Example 2:
Input: s = "aaaa", maxLetters = 1, minSize = 3, maxSize = 3
Output: 2
Explanation: Substring "aaa" occur 2 times in the string. It can overlap.
Constraints:
1 <= s.length <= 105
1 <= maxLetters <= 26
1 <= minSize <= maxSize <= min(26, s.length)
s consists of only lowercase English letters.
Solutions
Solution 1: Hash Table + Enumeration
According to the problem description, if a long string meets the condition, then its substring of length $\textit{minSize}$ must also meet the condition. Therefore, we only need to enumerate all substrings of length $\textit{minSize}$ in $s$, then use a hash table to record the occurrence frequency of all substrings, and find the maximum frequency as the answer.
The time complexity is $O(n \times m)$, and the space complexity is $O(n \times m)$. Here, $n$ and $m$ are the lengths of the string $s$ and $\textit{minSize}$, respectively. In this problem, $m$ does not exceed $26$.
