Problem: Longest Happy Prefix

Hard
40 min
Explore how to identify the longest happy prefix of a string using hash maps. Learn to solve this problem by understanding the concept of happy prefixes and implementing an efficient solution. This lesson helps you develop the ability to analyze string patterns and apply hashing for optimal performance in coding interviews.

Statement

Given a string, s, find the longest happy prefix. If no such prefix exists, return an empty string "".

Note: A happy prefix of a string is a non-empty substring at the beginning that also appears at the end (but not the entire string itself).

Constraints:

  • 1<=1 <= s.length <=105<= 10^5

  • s contains only lowercase English letters.
