Problem TLDR

All numbers as substring length of k #medium #sliding_window

Intuition

Use sliding window of k. Calculate the current number, add to a set. Uniqs count should be 2^k.

Approach

  • use built-in windows, the k is small, can take substrings on the fly
  • inverted solution: number of allowed duplicates is len-k+1 - 2^k
  • return early

Complexity

  • Time complexity: \(O(n)\)

  • Space complexity: \(O(n)\)

Code

// 130ms
    fun hasAllCodes(s: String, k: Int) =
    s.windowed(k).toSet().size == 1 shl k
// 87ms
    pub fn has_all_codes(s: String, k: i32) -> bool {
        s.as_bytes().windows(k as usize).unique().count() as i32 == 1 << k
    }
