Solution: Number of Substrings Containing All Three Characters

Explore how to implement the sliding window technique to count substrings in a string that contain at least one occurrence of each character 'a', 'b', and 'c'. This lesson helps you understand how to expand and shrink the window while maintaining character counts, resulting in an efficient O(n) solution that avoids enumerating all substrings.

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 ...
