Maximum length of the substring

Find the length of the substring which has no repeated characters present in the string.. Like If a="bbb" Then answer should be "b" And length should be 1. All the characters in the string are connected! I want answer in O(n) but got a complexity of O(n^2)

a = "BartoszBar" result = "" j = 0 s = [] for i in range(0, len(a) - 1): while (j < i and a[i] in s): s.remove(a[j]) j = j + 1 s.insert(a[i]) if (i - j + 1 > len(result)): result = a[j:i+1] print result Now it is linear.

Nah, it is O(nlogn). It is not much slower than O(n)

Now it is linear. Used list instead of set

Are in substring all letters connected or not necessary?

Yes all the letters are connected

You can bruteforce it. Longest answer is 26(alphabet size). Then start in any position and go on 26 letters ahead. O(26*N)=O(N)

Brother can you please simplify your answer? If user enters string value = "BartoszBar" Then our method should return "Bartosz" and length of 7 with O(n) Complexity
