76. Minimum Window Substring

中文文档

Description

Given two strings s and t of lengths m and n respectively, return the minimum window substring of s such that every character in t (including duplicates) is included in the window. If there is no such substring, return the empty string "".

The testcases will be generated such that the answer is unique.

 

Example 1:

Input: s = "ADOBECODEBANC", t = "ABC"
Output: "BANC"
Explanation: The minimum window substring "BANC" includes 'A', 'B', and 'C' from string t.

Example 2:

Input: s = "a", t = "a"
Output: "a"
Explanation: The entire string s is the minimum window.

Example 3:

Input: s = "a", t = "aa"
Output: ""
Explanation: Both 'a's from t must be included in the window.
Since the largest window of s only has one 'a', return empty string.

 

Constraints:

• m == s.length
• n == t.length
• 1 <= m, n <= 105
• s and t consist of uppercase and lowercase English letters.

 

Follow up: Could you find an algorithm that runs in O(m + n) time?

Python3

    def minWindow(self, s: str, t: str) -> str:
        ans = ''
        m, n = len(s), len(t)
        if m < n:

            return s.substring(minStart, minStart + minLen);
