Longest Substring Without Repeating Characters-----LeetCode

Given a string, find the length of the longest substring without repeating characters. For example, the longest substring without repeating letters for "abcabcbb" is "abc", which the length is 3. For "bbbbb" the longest substring is "b", with the length of 1.

解题思路：

历遍字符串，当当前字符出现过的时候，子串开始位置+1，否则更新locs数组中的hash值为当前位置。

详细解释参考http://blog.csdn.net/pickless/article/details/9018575

以下是代码：

class Solution {
public:
    int lengthOfLongestSubstring(string s) {
        // Start typing your C/C++ solution below
        // DO NOT write int main() function
        int locs[256];//保存字符上一次出现的位置
        memset(locs, -1, sizeof(locs));

        int idx = -1, max = 0;//idx为当前子串的开始位置-1
        for (int i = 0; i < s.size(); i++)
        {
            if (locs[s[i]] > idx)//如果当前字符出现过，那么当前子串的起始位置为这个字符上一次出现的位置+1
            {
                idx = locs[s[i]];
            }

            if (i - idx > max)
            {
                max = i - idx;
            }

            locs[s[i]] = i;
        }
        return max;
    }
};
