Problem: Substring with Concatenation of All Words

Explore how to solve the substring concatenation problem by applying hash tables and sliding window techniques in JavaScript. Understand frequency maps and window management to efficiently find all valid substrings that contain all given words in any order.

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 words may contain duplicate strings.

Constraints:

  • 11 \leq s.length 104\leq 10^4

  • 11 \leq words.length 5000\leq 5000

  • 11 \leq words[i].length 30\leq 30 ...
