Solution: Number of Substrings Containing All Three Characters

Understand how to use the sliding window pattern to efficiently count substrings containing all three characters 'a', 'b', and 'c'. Learn to implement a two-pointer approach that expands and shrinks a window while tracking character counts, optimizing both time and space complexity. This lesson equips you with a practical technique to solve substring counting problems commonly asked in coding interviews.

Statement

Given a string s that consists only of the characters 'a', 'b', and 'c', return the number of substrings that contain at least one occurrence of each of the three characters.

Constraints:

  • 33 \leq ...
