Solution: Count Substrings With K-Frequency Characters II

Explore how to count all substrings in a string where at least one character appears at least k times. Understand the sliding window approach to efficiently track character frequencies, expand and shrink the window, and avoid brute force methods. Gain insight into managing time and space complexity through a hands-on example that improves substring problem-solving skills using a fixed-size frequency array and two-pointer technique.

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:

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

  • 11 \leq k ...
