Solution: Number of Substrings Containing All Three Characters

Explore the sliding window method to count substrings containing all three characters 'a', 'b', and 'c' in a given string. This lesson guides you through implementing a time-efficient O(n) approach using two pointers to manage the window, track character frequencies, and count valid substrings without enumerating all possibilities.

Statement

Given a string s that consists only of the characters 'a', 'b', and 'c', return the number of substrings that contain at least one occurrence of each of the three characters.

Constraints:

  • 33 \leq ...
