Problem: Permutation in String

Explore how to determine if one string contains any permutation of another as a substring. Learn to implement an efficient sliding window technique combined with character frequency tracking to solve this string algorithm problem with optimal time and space complexity.

Statement

Given two strings s1 and s2, determine whether s2 contains any permutation of s1 as a substring. Return true if such a substring exists, and false otherwise.

Note: A permutation of a string is any rearrangement of its characters. You need to check whether any contiguous substring of s2 is an anagram of s1.

Constraints:

  • 11 \leq s1.length, s2.length 104\leq 10^4 ...
