Problem: Number of Substrings Containing All Three Characters

med
30 min
Explore how to efficiently count substrings in a string that contain all three characters 'a', 'b', and 'c' using the sliding window technique. This lesson helps you understand problem constraints and implement solutions that meet coding interview requirements, strengthening your pattern recognition and optimization skills.

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 s.length 5×104\leq 5 \times 10^4

  • s consists only of characters 'a', 'b', or 'c'.
