2063. Vowels of All Substrings

Description

Given a string word, return the sum of the number of vowels ('a', 'e', 'i', 'o', and 'u') in every substring of word.

A substring is a contiguous (non-empty) sequence of characters within a string.

Note: Due to the large constraints, the answer may not fit in a signed 32-bit integer. Please be careful during the calculations.

Example 1:

Input: word = "aba"
Output: 6
Explanation: 
All possible substrings are: "a", "ab", "aba", "b", "ba", and "a".
- "b" has 0 vowels in it
- "a", "ab", "ba", and "a" have 1 vowel each
- "aba" has 2 vowels in it
Hence, the total sum of vowels = 0 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 6.

Example 2:

Input: word = "abc"
Output: 3
Explanation: 
All possible substrings are: "a", "ab", "abc", "b", "bc", and "c".
- "a", "ab", and "abc" have 1 vowel each
- "b", "bc", and "c" have 0 vowels each
Hence, the total sum of vowels = 1 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 3.

Example 3:

Input: word = "ltcd"
Output: 0
Explanation: There are no vowels in any substring of "ltcd".

Constraints:

1 <= word.length <= 10⁵
word consists of lowercase English letters.

We can enumerate each character \(\textit{word}[i]\) in the string. If \(\textit{word}[i]\) is a vowel, then \(\textit{word}[i]\) appears in \((i + 1) \times (n - i)\) substrings. We sum up the counts of these substrings.

The time complexity is \(O(n)\), where \(n\) is the length of the string \(\textit{word}\). The space complexity is \(O(1)\).
