There are approximately 26^2 possible combinations of alternating pairs of letters. Notice that this number remains constant and is not dependent on the length of our input String. This fact will help us achieve a linear O(n) runtime.
Time Complexity: O(n) with just 1 traversal of our String
Space Complexity: O(1)
We want to solve this problem with just 1 traversal of our String, so we solve all 26^2 subproblems simultaneously. We use two int[26][26] arrays to keep track of the 26^2 solutions.
There are approximately 26^2 possible combinations of alternating pairs of letters.
Notice that this number remains constant and is not dependent on the length of our
input String. This fact will help us achieve a linear O(n) runtime.
We want to solve this problem with just 1 traversal of our String, so we solve all
26^2 subproblems simultaneously. We use two int[26][26] arrays to keep track of the
26^2 solutions.
As we iterate through our String, we update our two int[26][26] arrays as follows:
- int[26][26] letter ---> This array is used to keep track of which of the alternating characters we saw last. To achieve this, for the current character "ch", we update the corresponding row (26 entries) and column (26 entries) with the (ASCII) value of "ch".
- int[26][26] count ----> if we find that no solution exists for a pair of characters (which happens when the characters don't alternate), we store -1 in this array. Otherwise, we store he current maximum length of "s" for the pair of characters.
- int[26][26] letter ---> This array is used to keep track of which of the alternating
characters we saw last. To achieve this, for the current character "ch", we update the
corresponding row (26 entries) and column (26 entries) with the (ASCII) value of "ch".
- int[26][26] count ----> if we find that no solution exists for a pair of characters
(which happens when the characters don't alternate), we store -1 in this array.
Otherwise, we store he current maximum length of "s" for the pair of characters.
Our final answer is the maximum value in "int[26][26] count".
Time Complexity: O(n) with just 1 traversal of our String
Space Complexity: O(1)
Our final answer is the maximum value in our "int[26][26] count" array.
