If given an array A consisting of N integers, how can I return the size of the largest possible subset of A such that its AND product is greater than 0???
I've been at this all day and still cant get the desired result.
Are you guys able to see what's wrong with my code?
I am inputting an array of N size = {13,7,2,8,3},
output should be 3, and I get 5...
Any help is appreciated. thanks!!
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
int n = Integer.valueOf(scan.nextLine());
int[] a = new int[n];
for(int i = 0; i < n; i++){
a[i] = Integer.valueOf(scan.nextLine());
}
int mAND = toBitWise(a);
int maxCombinados = checarMax(a, 0, 0, 0, mAND);
System.out.println(maxCombinados);
}
private static int toBitWise(int[] a){
int nAND = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < a.length; i++){
nAND &= a[i];
}
return nAND;
}
public static int checarMax(int[] a, int i, int cAND, int cSize, int mAND){
if(i == a.length){
if(cAND == mAND){
return cSize;
}
else{
return a.length;
}
}
int prueba = checarMax(a, i + 1, cAND & a[i], cSize + 1, mAND);
int ign = checarMax(a, i + 1, cAND, cSize, mAND);
return Math.max(prueba, ign);
}
}
A brute-force solution is to try all 31 permutations of non-empty subsets of that 5-value set.
To iterate the permutations, just iterate the numbers 1-31, and check the 5 bits to see which values from the array to include in the result, i.e. use bit-manipulation to find the permutations, then use bit-manipulation to AND the values of the permutation.
static int findLargestSubset(int... values) {
if (values.length > 30)
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Too many values");
// Iterate all subsets (permutations), except the empty subset
int maxSubsetSize = 0;
int subsetCount = 1 << values.length;
for (int subsetMask = 1; subsetMask < subsetCount; subsetMask++) {
// 'AND' all values in the subset
int result = -1; // all bits set
for (int i = 0; i < values.length; i++)
if ((subsetMask & (1 << i)) != 0) // value is in subset
result &= values[i];
// Check subset size if result is non-zero
if (result != 0) {
int subsetSize = Integer.bitCount(subsetMask);
if (subsetSize > maxSubsetSize)
maxSubsetSize = subsetSize;
}
}
return maxSubsetSize;
}
Test
System.out.println(findLargestSubset(13,7,2,8,3)); // prints 3
Pseudocode:
initialize ans = 0
for i in each 31 bits:
count = 0
for n each numbers in array:
check if the ith position of n has 1 -> count++
ans = max(ans, count)
return ans
In this code I am having some problem as I have marked using a loop which is printing some values. I am storing them in an array as mentioned and am trying to print the values in another function. But even after using the global array the value of the array is changing.
I am not able to figure out the problem. Please help me out.

what I need to do is to store those 32 values in 1 D array for further operation but while doing it all the array values displays 0 only except [7]. I dont know whats going on here.
Reference types are not bound to local scopes, just because your array is static to the class it does not mean that changing the values in one function will not change the values in the actual array. The reference to your array as a parameter will be a copy, but the reference is still "pointing" on an actual object, which is not a copy bound to your local scope.
If you want to save two different states of the array, you will have to save them yourself.
I have a string that consists of characters A,B,C and D and I am trying to calculate the length of the longest substring that has an equal amount of each one of these characters in any order.
For example ABCDB would return 4, ABCC 0 and ADDBCCBA 8.
My code currently:
public int longestSubstring(String word) {
HashMap<Integer, String> map = new HashMap<Integer, String>();
for (int i = 0; i<word.length()-3; i++) {
map.put(i, word.substring(i, i+4));
}
StringBuilder sb;
int longest = 0;
for (int i = 0; i<map.size(); i++) {
sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.append(map.get(i));
int a = 4;
while (i<map.size()-a) {
sb.append(map.get(i+a));
a+= 4;
}
String substring = sb.toString();
if (equalAmountOfCharacters(substring)) {
int length = substring.length();
if (length > longest)
longest = length;
}
}
return longest;
}
This currently works pretty well if the string length is 10^4 but I'm trying to make it 10^5. Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated.
Let's assume that cnt(c, i) is the number of occurrences of the character c in the prefix of length i.
A substring (low, high] has an equal amount of two characters a and b iff cnt(a, high) - cnt(a, low) = cnt(b, high) - cnt(b, low), or, put it another way, cnt(b, high) - cnt(a, high) = cnt(b, low) - cnt(a, low). Thus, each position is described by a value of cnt(b, i) - cnt(a, i). Now we can generalize it for more that two characters: each position is described by a tuple (cnt(a_2, i) - cnt(a_1, i), ..., cnt(a_k, i) - cnt(a_1, i)), where a_1 ... a_k is the alphabet.
We can iterate over the given string and maintain the current tuple. At each step, we should update the answer by checking the value of i - first_occurrence(current_tuple), where first_occurrence is a hash table that stores the first occurrence of each tuple seen so far. Do not forget to put a tuple of zeros to the hash map before iteration(it corresponds to an empty prefix).
If there were only A's and B's, then you could do something like this.
def longest_balanced(word):
length = 0
cumulative_difference = 0
first_index = {0: -1}
for index, letter in enumerate(word):
if letter == 'A':
cumulative_difference += 1
elif letter == 'B':
cumulative_difference -= 1
else:
raise ValueError(letter)
if cumulative_difference in first_index:
length = max(length, index - first_index[cumulative_difference])
else:
first_index[cumulative_difference] = index
return length
Life is more complicated with all four letters, but the idea is much the same. Instead of keeping just one cumulative difference, for A's versus B's, we keep three, for A's versus B's, A's versus C's, and A's versus D's.
Well, first of all abstain from constructing any strings.
If you don't produce any (or nearly no) garbage, there's no need to collect it, which is a major plus.
Next, use a different data-structure:
I suggest 4 byte-arrays, storing the count of their respective symbol in the 4-span starting at the corresponding string-index.
That should speed it up considerably.
You can count the occurrences of the characters in word. Then, a possible solution could be:
If min is the minimum number of occurrences of any character in word, then min is also the maximum possible number of occurrences of each character in the substring we are looking for. In the code below, min is maxCount.
We iterate over decreasing values of maxCount. At every step, the string we are searching for will have length maxCount * alphabetSize. We can view this as the size of a sliding window we can slide over word.
We slide the window over word, counting the occurrences of the characters in the window. If the window is the substring we are searching for, we return the result. Otherwise, we keep searching.
[FIXED] The code:
private static final int ALPHABET_SIZE = 4;
public int longestSubstring(String word) {
// count
int[] count = new int[ALPHABET_SIZE];
for (int i = 0; i < word.length(); i++) {
char c = word.charAt(i);
count[c - 'A']++;
}
int maxCount = word.length();
for (int i = 0; i < count.length; i++) {
int cnt = count[i];
if (cnt < maxCount) {
maxCount = cnt;
}
}
// iterate over maxCount until found
boolean found = false;
while (maxCount > 0 && !found) {
int substringLength = maxCount * ALPHABET_SIZE;
found = findSubstring(substringLength, word, maxCount);
if (!found) {
maxCount--;
}
}
return found ? maxCount * ALPHABET_SIZE : 0;
}
private boolean findSubstring(int length, String word, int maxCount) {
int startIndex = 0;
boolean found = false;
while (startIndex + length <= word.length()) {
int[] count = new int[ALPHABET_SIZE];
for (int i = startIndex; i < startIndex + length; i++) {
char c = word.charAt(i);
int cnt = ++count[c - 'A'];
if (cnt > maxCount) {
break;
}
}
if (equalValues(count, maxCount)) {
found = true;
break;
} else {
startIndex++;
}
}
return found;
}
// Returns true if all values in c are equal to value
private boolean equalValues(int[] count, int value) {
boolean result = true;
for (int i : count) {
if (i != value) {
result = false;
break;
}
}
return result;
}
[MERGED] This is Hollis Waite's solution using cumulative counts, but taking my observations at points 1. and 2. into consideration. This may improve performance for some inputs:
private static final int ALPHABET_SIZE = 4;
public int longestSubstring(String word) {
// count
int[][] cumulativeCount = new int[ALPHABET_SIZE][];
for (int i = 0; i < ALPHABET_SIZE; i++) {
cumulativeCount[i] = new int[word.length() + 1];
}
int[] count = new int[ALPHABET_SIZE];
for (int i = 0; i < word.length(); i++) {
char c = word.charAt(i);
count[c - 'A']++;
for (int j = 0; j < ALPHABET_SIZE; j++) {
cumulativeCount[j][i + 1] = count[j];
}
}
int maxCount = word.length();
for (int i = 0; i < count.length; i++) {
int cnt = count[i];
if (cnt < maxCount) {
maxCount = cnt;
}
}
// iterate over maxCount until found
boolean found = false;
while (maxCount > 0 && !found) {
int substringLength = maxCount * ALPHABET_SIZE;
found = findSubstring(substringLength, word, maxCount, cumulativeCount);
if (!found) {
maxCount--;
}
}
return found ? maxCount * ALPHABET_SIZE : 0;
}
private boolean findSubstring(int length, String word, int maxCount, int[][] cumulativeCount) {
int startIndex = 0;
int endIndex = (startIndex + length) - 1;
boolean found = true;
while (endIndex < word.length()) {
for (int i = 0; i < ALPHABET_SIZE; i++) {
if (cumulativeCount[i][endIndex] - cumulativeCount[i][startIndex] != maxCount) {
found = false;
break;
}
}
if (found) {
break;
} else {
startIndex++;
endIndex++;
}
}
return found;
}
You'll probably want to cache cumulative counts of characters for each index of String -- that's where the real bottleneck is. Haven't thoroughly tested but something like the below should work.

Suppose there are K possible letters in a string of length N. We could track the balance of letters seen with a vector pos of length K that is updated as follows:
If letter 1 is seen, add (K-1, -1, -1, ...)
If letter 2 is seen, add (-1, K-1, -1, ...)
If letter 3 is seen, add (-1, -1, K-1, ...)
Maintain a hash that maps pos to the first string position where pos is reached. Balanced substrings occur whenever hash[pos] already exists and the substring value is s[hash[pos]:pos].
The cost of maintaining the hash is O(log N) so processing the string takes O(N log N). How does this compare with solutions so far? These types of problems tend to have linear solutions but I haven't come across one yet.
Here's some code demonstrating the idea for 3 letters and a run using biased random strings. (Uniform random strings allow for solutions that are around half the string length, which is unwieldy to print).

I have an array of integers, and I need to find the one that's closest to zero (positive integers take priority over negative ones.)
Here is the code I have so far:
public class CloseToZero {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int[] data = {2,3,-2};
int curr = 0;
int near = data[0];
// find the element nearest to zero
for ( int i=0; i < data.length; i++ ){
curr = data[i] * data[i];
if ( curr <= (near * near) ) {
near = data[i];
}
}
System.out.println( near );
}
}
Currently I'm getting a result of -2 but I should be getting 2. What am I doing wrong?
This will do it in O(n) time:
int[] arr = {1,4,5,6,7,-1};
int closestIndex = 0;
int diff = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; ++i) {
int abs = Math.abs(arr[i]);
if (abs < diff) {
closestIndex = i;
diff = abs;
} else if (abs == diff && arr[i] > 0 && arr[closestIndex] < 0) {
//same distance to zero but positive
closestIndex =i;
}
}
System.out.println(arr[closestIndex ]);
If you are using java8:
import static java.lang.Math.abs;
import static java.lang.Math.max;
public class CloseToZero {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int[] str = {2,3,-2};
Arrays.stream(str).filter(i -> i != 0)
.reduce((a, b) -> abs(a) < abs(b) ? a : (abs(a) == abs(b) ? max(a, b) : b))
.ifPresent(System.out::println);
}
}
Sort the array (add one line of code) so the last number you pick up will be positive if the same absolute value is selected for a positive and negative numbers with the same distance.
Source code:
import java.util.Arrays;
public class CloseToZero {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int[] data = {2,3,-2};
int curr = 0;
int near = data[0];
Arrays.sort(data); // add this
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(data));
// find the element nearest to zero
for ( int i=0; i < data.length; i++ ){
System.out.println("dist from " + data[i] + " = " + Math.abs(0 -data[i]));
curr = data[i] * data[i];
if ( curr <= (near * near) ) {
near = data[i];
}
}
System.out.println( near );
}
}
Just add zero to this list.
Then sort the list
Arrays.sort(data);
then grab the number before or after the zero and pick the minimum one greater than zero
Assumption is that the array data has at least 1 value.
int closestToZero = 0;
for ( int i = 1; i < data.length; i++ )
{
if ( Math.abs(data[i]) < Math.abs(data[closestToZero]) ) closestToZero = i;
}
The value in closestToZero is the index of the value closest to zero, not the value itself.
static int Solve(int N, int[] A){
int min = A[0];
for (int i=1; i<N ; i++){
min = min > Math.abs(0- A[i]) ? Math.abs(0- A[i]) : Math.abs(min);
}
return min;

As you multiply data[i] with data[i], a value negative and a value positive will have the same impact.
For example, in your example: 2 and -2 will be 4. So, your code is not able to sort as you need.
So, here, it takes -2 as the near value since it has the same "weight" as 2.
I have same answer with different method,Using Collections and abs , we can solved.
static int Solve(int N, int[] A){
List<Integer> mInt=new ArrayList<>();
for ( int i=0; i < A.length; i++ ){
mInt.add(Math.abs(0 -A[i]));
}
return Collections.min(mInt);
}
That all,As simple as that
This is a very easy to read O(n) solution for this problem.
int bigestNegative = Integer.MIN_VALUE;
int smalestpositive = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
int result = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
//if the zero should be considered as result as well
if ( temperatures[i] == 0 ) {
result = 0;
break;
}
if ( temperatures[i] > 0 && temperatures[i] < smalestpositive ) {
smalestpositive = temperatures[i];
}
if ( temperatures[i] < 0 && temperatures[i] > bigestNegative ) {
bigestNegative = temperatures[i];
}
}
if( (Math.abs(bigestNegative)) < (Math.abs(smalestpositive)) && bigestNegative != Integer.MIN_VALUE)
result = bigestNegative;
else
result = smalestpositive;
System.out.println( result );
First convert the int array into stream. Then sort it with default sorting order. Then filter greater than zero & peek the first element & print it.
Do it in declarative style which describes 'what to do', not 'how to do'. This style is more readable.
int[] data = {2,3,-2};
IntStream.of(data)
.filter(i -> i>0)
.sorted()
.limit(1)
.forEach(System.out::println);
using Set Collection and abs methode to avoid complex algo
public static void main(String[] args) {
int [] temperature={0};
***// will erase double values and order them from small to big***
Set<Integer> s= new HashSet<Integer>();
if (temperature.length!=0) {
for(int i=0; i<temperature.length; i++) {
***// push the abs value to the set***
s.add(Math.abs(temperature[i]));
}
// remove a zero if exists in the set
while(s.contains(0)) {
s.remove(0);
}
***// get first (smallest) element of the set : by default it is sorted***
if (s.size()!=0) {
Iterator iter = s.iterator();
System.out.println(iter.next());
}
else System.out.println(0);
}
else System.out.println(0);
}
static int nearToZero(int[] A){
Arrays.sort(A);
int ans = 0;
List<Integer> list = Arrays.stream(A).boxed().collect(Collectors.toList());
List<Integer> toRemove = new ArrayList<>();
List<Integer> newList = new ArrayList<>();
for(int num: list){
if(newList.contains(num)) toRemove.add(num);
else newList.add(num);
}
list.removeAll(toRemove);
for(int num : list){
if(num == 0 ) return 0;
if(ans == 0 )ans = num;
if(num < 0 && ans < num) ans = num;
if(num < ans) ans = num;
if(num > 0 && Math.abs(ans) >= num) ans = num;
}
return ans;
}
here is a method that gives you the nearest to zero.
use case 1 : {1,3,-2} ==> return 1 : use the Math.abs() for comparison and get the least.
use case 2 : {2,3,-2} ==> return 2 : use the Math.abs() for comparison and get the Math.abs(least)
use case 3 : {-2,3,-2} ==> return -2: use the Math.abs() for comparison and get the least.
public static double getClosestToZero(double[] liste) {
// if the list is empty return 0
if (liste.length != 0) {
double near = liste[0];
for (int i = 0; i < liste.length; i++) {
// here we are using Math.abs to manage the negative and
// positive number
if (Math.abs(liste[i]) <= Math.abs(near)) {
// manage the case when we have two equal neagative numbers
if (liste[i] == -near) {
near = Math.abs(liste[i]);
} else {
near = liste[i];
}
}
}
return near;
} else {
return 0;
}
}
You can do like this:
String res = "";
Arrays.sort(arr);
int num = arr[0];
int ClosestValue = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++)
{
//for negatives
if (arr[i] < ClosestValue && arr[i] > num)
num = arr[i];
//for positives
if (arr[i] > ClosestValue && num < ClosestValue)
num = arr[i];
}
res = num;
System.out.println(res);
First of all you need to store all your numbers into an array. After that sort the array --> that's the trick who will make you don't use Math.abs(). Now is time to make a loop that iterates through the array. Knowing that array is sorted is important that you start to make first an IF statement for negatives numbers then for the positives (in this way if you will have two values closest to zero, let suppose -1 and 1 --> will print the positive one).
Hope this will help you.
The easiest way to deal with this is split the array into positive and negative sort and push the first two items from both the arrays into another array. Have fun!
function closeToZeroTwo(arr){
let arrNeg = arr.filter(x => x < 0).sort();
let arrPos = arr.filter(x => x > 0).sort();
let retArr = [];
retArr.push(arrNeg[0], arrPos[0]);
console.log(retArr)
}
Easiest way to just sort that array in ascending order suppose input is like :
int[] array = {10,-5,5,2,7,-4,28,65,95,85,12,45};
then after sorting it will gives output like:
{-5,-4,2,5,7,10,12,28,45,65,85,95,}
and for positive integer number, the Closest Positive number is: 2
Logic :
public class Closest {
public static int getClosestToZero(int[] a) {
int temp=0;
//following for is used for sorting an array in ascending nubmer
for (int i = 0; i < a.length-1; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < a.length-i-1; j++) {
if (a[j]>a[j+1]) {
temp = a[j];
a[j]=a[j+1];
a[j+1]=temp;
}
}
}
//to check sorted array with negative & positive values
System.out.print("{");
for(int number:a)
System.out.print(number + ",");
System.out.print("}\n");
//logic for check closest positive and Integer
for (int i = 0; i < a.length; i++) {
if (a[i]<0 && a[i+1]>0) {
temp = a[i+1];
}
}
return temp;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
int[] array = {10,-5,5,2,7,-4,28,65,95,85,12,45};
int closets =getClosestToZero(array);
System.out.println("The Closest Positive number is : "+closets);
}
}
static void closestToZero(){
int[] arr = {45,-4,-12,-2,7,4};
int max = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
int closest = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++){
int value = arr[i];
int abs = Math.abs(value);
if (abs < max){
max = abs;
closest = value;
}else if (abs == max){
if (value > closest){
closest = value;
}
}
}
Return a positive integer if two absolute values are the same.

To maintain O(n) time complexity and getting the desired results we have to add another variable called 'num' and assign to it 'near' before changing it's value. And finally make necessary checks. The improvements in the code are are:
public class CloseToZero {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int[] data = {2,3,-2};
int curr = 0;
int near = data[0];
int num=near;
// find the element nearest to zero
for ( int i=0; i < data.length; i++ ){
curr = data[i] * data[i];
if ( curr <= (near * near) ) {
num=near;
near = data[i];
}
}
if(near<0 && near*(-1)==num)
near=num;
System.out.println( near );
}
}
We have to find the Closest number to zero.
The given array can have negative values also.
So the easiest approach would append the '0' in the given array and sort it and return the element next to '0'
append the 0
Sort the Array
Return the element next to 0.
`
N = int(input())
arr = list(map(int, input().split()))
arr.append(0)
arr.sort()
zeroIndex = arr.index(0)
print(arr[zeroIndex + 1])
--> If this solution leaves corner cases please let me know also.
`
if you don't wanna use the inbuilt library function use the below code (just an and condition with your existing code)-
public class CloseToZero {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int[] data = {2,3,-2,-1,1};
int curr = 0;
int near = data[0];
// find the element nearest to zero
for ( int i=0; i < data.length; i++ ){
curr = data[i] * data[i];
if ( curr <= (near * near) && !((curr - (near * near) == 0) && data[i] < 0)) {
near = data[i];
}
}
System.out.println( near );
}
}
!((curr - (near * near) == 0) && data[i] < 0) : skip asignment if if near and curr is just opposit in sign and the curr is negative
public static int find(int[] ints) {
if (ints==null) return 0;
int min= ints[0]; //a random value initialisation
for (int k=0;k<ints.length;k++) {
// if a positive value is matched it is prioritized
if (ints[k]==Math.abs(min) || Math.abs(ints[k])<Math.abs(min))
min=ints[k];
}
return min;
}
public int check() {
int target = 0;
int[] myArray = { 40, 20, 100, 30, -1, 70, -10, 500 };
int result = myArray[0];
for (int i = 0; i < myArray.length; i++) {
if (myArray[i] == target) {
result = myArray[i];
return result;
}
if (myArray[i] > 0 && result >= (myArray[i] - target)) {
result = myArray[i];
}
}
return result;
}
I have added a check for the positive number itself.
Please share your views folks!!

{
arr[i] = Math.abs(arr[i]);

The task is to find the longest substring in a given string that is composed of any two unique repeating characters
Ex. in an input string "aabadefghaabbaagad", the longest such string is "aabbaa"
I came up with the following solution but wanted to see if there is a more efficient way to do the same
import java.util.*;
public class SubString {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//String inStr="defghgadaaaaabaababbbbbbd";
String inStr="aabadefghaabbaagad";
//String inStr="aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa";
System.out.println("Input string is "+inStr);
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(inStr.length());
String subStr="";
String interStr="";
String maxStr="";
int start=0,length=0, maxStart=0, maxlength=0, temp=0;
while(start+2<inStr.length())
{ int i=0;
temp=start;
char x = inStr.charAt(start);
char y = inStr.charAt(start+1);
sb.append(x);
sb.append(y);
while( (x==y) && (start+2<inStr.length()) )
{ start++;
y = inStr.charAt(start+1);
sb.append(y);
}
subStr=inStr.substring(start+2);
while(i<subStr.length())
{ if(subStr.charAt(i)==x || subStr.charAt(i)==y )
{ sb.append(subStr.charAt(i));
i++;
}
else
break;
}
interStr= sb.toString();
System.out.println("Intermediate string "+ interStr);
length=interStr.length();
if(maxlength<length)
{ maxlength=length;
length=0;
maxStr = new String(interStr);
maxStart=temp;
}
start++;
sb.setLength(0);
}
System.out.println("");
System.out.println("Longest string is "+maxStr.length()+" chars long "+maxStr);
}
}
Here's a hint that might guide you towards a linear-time algorithm (I assume that this is homework, so I won't give the entire solution): At the point where you have found a character that is neither equal to x nor to y, it is not necessary to go all the way back to start + 1 and restart the search. Let's take the string aabaaddaa. At the point where you have seen aabaa and the next character is d, there is no point in restarting the search at index 1 or 2, because in those cases, you'll only get abaa or baa before hitting d again. As a matter of fact, you can move start directly to index 3 (the first index of the last group of as), and since you already know that there is a contiguous sequene of as up to d, you can move i to index 5 and continue.
Edit: Pseudocode below.
// Find the first letter that is not equal to the first one,
// or return the entire string if it consists of one type of characters
int start = 0;
int i = 1;
while (i < str.length() && str[i] == str[start])
i++;
if (i == str.length())
return str;
// The main algorithm
char[2] chars = {str[start], str[i]};
int lastGroupStart = 0;
while (i < str.length()) {
if (str[i] == chars[0] || str[i] == chars[1]) {
if (str[i] != str[i - 1])
lastGroupStart = i;
}
else {
//TODO: str.substring(start, i) is a locally maximal string;
// compare it to the longest one so far
start = lastGroupStart;
lastGroupStart = i;
chars[0] = str[start];
chars[1] = str[lastGroupStart];
}
i++;
}
//TODO: After the loop, str.substring(start, str.length())
// is also a potential solution.
Same question to me, I wrote this code
public int getLargest(char [] s){
if(s.length<1) return s.length;
char c1 = s[0],c2=' ';
int start = 1,l=1, max=1;
int i = 1;
while(s[start]==c1){
l++;
start++;
if(start==s.length) return start;
}
c2 = s[start];
l++;
for(i = l; i<s.length;i++){
if(s[i]==c1 || s[i]==c2){
if(s[i]!=s[i-1])
start = i;
l++;
}
else {
l = i-start+1;
c1 = s[start];
c2 = s[i];
start = i;
}
max = Math.max(l, max);
}
return max;
}
so the way I think of this is to solve it in 2 steps
scan the entire string to find continuous streams of the same letter
loop the extracted segments and condense them until u get a gap.
This way you can also modify the logic to scan for longest sub-string of any length not just 2.

{
//.

}
return sb.ToString();

{
bool gap = false;
for (int j = 0; j < domain.Count; j++)
{
if (list[i][0] == domain[j])
{

break;

The problem can be solved in O(n). Idea is to maintain a window and add elements to the window till it contains less or equal 2, update our result if required while doing so. If unique elements exceeds than required in window, start removing the elements from left side.
