题目原文
Given a string S and a string T, find the minimum window in S which will contain all the characters in T in complexity O(n).
For example,
S = "ADOBECODEBANC"
T = "ABC"
Minimum window is "BANC"
.
题目大意
给定字符串s和t,要在s中找到一个最小的窗口,其中出现了所有t中的字符
解题思路
t中的字符可能为重复字符,需要先用字典记录每次字符出现的次数;要判断窗口中是否出现了所有字符,首先需要两个指针表示窗口的位置,尾指针不断往后扫,当扫到有一个窗口包含了所有T的字符,然后再收缩头指针,直到不能再收缩为止。最后记录所有可能的情况中窗口最小的。
