Problem: Substring with Concatenation of All Words
Explore how to identify all substrings composed of concatenated words from a list within a larger string. Understand and implement a sliding window approach combined with hash table frequency maps to efficiently track and match words. Gain insight into handling duplicates and optimizing the search using C++.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
You are given a string s and an array of strings words, where every string in words has the same length.
A concatenated string is formed by taking any permutation of words and concatenating all the strings in that permutation together. In other words, it is a string that contains every element of words exactly in the order defined by some permutation, with no extra characters.
Return a list of all starting indices in s where a substring that is a concatenated string begins. The answer may be returned in any order.
Note: The array
wordsmay contain duplicate strings.
Constraints:
s.lengthwords.lengthwords[i].length...
