Swap For Longest Repeated Character Substring

Description

Given a string text, we are allowed to swap two of the characters in the string. Find the length of the longest substring with repeated characters. Example 1: Input: text = "ababa" Output: 3 Explanation: We can swap the first 'b' with the last 'a', or the last 'b' with the first 'a'. Then, the longest repeated character substring is "aaa", which its length is 3. Example 2: Input: text = "aaabaaa" Output: 6 Explanation: Swap 'b' with the last 'a' (or the first 'a'), and we get longest repeated character substring "aaaaaa", which its length is 6. Example 3: Input: text = "aaabbaaa" Output: 4 Example 4: Input: text = "aaaaa" Output: 5 Explanation: No need to swap, longest repeated character substring is "aaaaa", length is 5. Example 5: Input: text = "abcdef" Output: 1

Constraints

1 <= text.length <= 20000 text consist of lowercase English characters only.

    def maxRepOpt1(self, text: str) -> int:
        

💡Before you submit:

  1. State pattern / approach (1 point)
  2. Explain your algorithm in clear pseudocode. (2 points)
  3. State the expected time and space complexity e.g. (O(n)). (2 points)
