Explore how to calculate the total appeal of a string by summing the count of unique characters in all its substrings. Learn to apply hash maps efficiently to solve this problem, enhancing your problem-solving skills in string manipulation and data structures.

Statement

Given a string s, return its total appeal, which is calculated by summing the appeals of all its substringsA substring is a contiguous sequence of characters within a string..

The appeal of a string is defined as the count of unique characters present in that string.

For instance, the appeal of “xyzxz” is 33, as it contains three distinct characters: ‘x’, ‘y’, and ‘z’.
