Solution: Longest Substring without Repeating Characters
Explore the sliding window technique to efficiently solve the longest substring without repeating characters problem. Understand how to use a hash map to track character indices and dynamically adjust the window to maximize substring length. This lesson helps you implement an optimized O(n) time solution that balances time and space complexity.
Statement
Given a string, str, return the length of the longest substring without repeating characters.
Constraints:
-
str.length
