Solution: Count Substrings With K-Frequency Characters II

Explore how to apply the sliding window technique to efficiently count substrings in a string where at least one character appears at least k times. Understand the algorithm steps, including frequency tracking and window adjustments, to solve this problem with optimal time and space complexity.

We'll cover the following...

Statement

Given a string s and an integer k, return the total number of substrings of s where at least one character appears at least k times.

Note: A substring is a contiguous sequence of characters within a string. For example, "edu" is a substring of "educative". 

Constraints:

  • 1≤1 \leq s.length ≤3×103\leq 3 \times 10^{3}

  • 1≤1 \leq k ...
