1876. Substrings of Size Three with Distinct Characters

Easy

A string is good if there are no repeated characters.

Given a string s, return the number of good substrings of length three in s.

Note that if there are multiple occurrences of the same substring, every occurrence should be counted.

A substring is a contiguous sequence of characters in a string.

Example 1:

Input: s = “xyzzaz”

Output: 1

Explanation: There are 4 substrings of size 3: “xyz”, “yzz”, “zza”, and “zaz”. The only good substring of length 3 is “xyz”.

Example 2:

Input: s = “aababcabc”

Output: 4

Explanation: There are 7 substrings of size 3: “aab”, “aba”, “bab”, “abc”, “bca”, “cab”, and “abc”. The good substrings are “abc”, “bca”, “cab”, and “abc”.

Constraints:

Solution

class Solution {
    fun countGoodSubstrings(s: String): Int {
        var count = 0
        for (i in 0 until s.length - 2) {
            val candidate = s.substring(i, i + 3)
            if (candidate[0] != candidate[1] && candidate[0] != candidate[2] && candidate[1] != candidate[2]) {
                count++
            }
        }
        return count
    }
