2272. Substring With Largest Variance
Description
The variance of a string is defined as the largest difference between the number of occurrences of any 2
characters present in the string. Note the two characters may or may not be the same.
Given a string s
consisting of lowercase English letters only, return the largest variance possible among all substrings of s
.
A substring is a contiguous sequence of characters within a string.
Example 1:
Input: s = "aababbb" Output: 3 Explanation: All possible variances along with their respective substrings are listed below: - Variance 0 for substrings "a", "aa", "ab", "abab", "aababb", "ba", "b", "bb", and "bbb". - Variance 1 for substrings "aab", "aba", "abb", "aabab", "ababb", "aababbb", and "bab". - Variance 2 for substrings "aaba", "ababbb", "abbb", and "babb". - Variance 3 for substring "babbb". Since the largest possible variance is 3, we return it.
Example 2:
Input: s = "abcde" Output: 0 Explanation: No letter occurs more than once in s, so the variance of every substring is 0.
Constraints:
1 <= s.length <= 104
s
consists of lowercase English letters.
