1525. Number of Good Ways to Split a String

Medium

You are given a string s.

A split is called good if you can split s into two non-empty strings sleft and sright where their concatenation is equal to s (i.e., sleft + sright = s) and the number of distinct letters in sleft and sright is the same.

Return the number of good splits you can make in s.

Example 1:

Input: s = “aacaba”

Output: 2

Explanation: There are 5 ways to split "aacaba" and 2 of them are good.

(“a”, “acaba”) Left string and right string contains 1 and 3 different letters respectively.

(“aa”, “caba”) Left string and right string contains 1 and 3 different letters respectively.

(“aac”, “aba”) Left string and right string contains 2 and 2 different letters respectively (good split).

(“aaca”, “ba”) Left string and right string contains 2 and 2 different letters respectively (good split).

(“aacab”, “a”) Left string and right string contains 3 and 1 different letters respectively.

Example 2:

Input: s = “abcd”

Output: 1

Explanation: Split the string as follows (“ab”, “cd”).

Solution

class Solution {
    fun numSplits(s: String): Int {
        val hs = HashSet<Char>()
        val dp1 = IntArray(s.length - 1)
        val dp2 = IntArray(s.length - 1)
        for (i in 0 until s.length - 1) {
            val ch = s[i]
            hs.add(ch)
            dp1[i] = hs.size
        }
        val hm = HashSet<Char>()
        for (i in s.length - 1 downTo 1) {
            val ch = s[i]
            hm.add(ch)
            dp2[i - 1] = hm.size
        }
        var count = 0
        for (i in 0 until s.length - 1) {
            if (dp1[i] == dp2[i]) {
                count++
            }
        }
        return count
    }
