[LeetCode] Longest Substring with At Most K Distinct Characters 最多有K个不同字符的最长子串

Given a string, find the length of the longest substring T that contains at most k distinct characters.

Example 1:

Input: s = "eceba", k = 2
Output: 3
Explanation: T is "ece" which its length is 3.

Example 2:

Input: s = "aa", k = 1
Output: 2
Explanation: T is "aa" which its length is 2.

这道题是之前那道Longest Substring with At Most Two Distinct Characters的拓展，而且那道题中的解法一和解法二直接将2换成k就行了，具体讲解请参考之前那篇博客：

解法一：

class Solution {
public:
    int lengthOfLongestSubstringKDistinct(string s, int k) {
        int res = , left = ;
        unordered_map<char, int> m;
        for (int i = ; i < s.size(); ++i) {
            ++m[s[i]];
            while (m.size() > k) {
                if (--m[s[left]] == ) m.erase(s[left]);
                ++left;
            }
            res = max(res, i - left + );
        }
        return res;
    }
};

具体讲解请参考之前那篇博客Longest Substring with At Most Two Distinct Characters，参见代码如下：

解法二：

class Solution {
public:
    int lengthOfLongestSubstringKDistinct(string s, int k) {
        int res = , left = ;
        unordered_map<char, int> m;
        for (int i = ; i < s.size(); ++i) {
            m[s[i]] = i;
            while (m.size() > k) {
                if (m[s[left]] == left) m.erase(s[left]);
                ++left;
            }
            res = max(res, i - left + );
        }
        return res;
    }
};
