/**
821. Shortest Distance to a Character
https://leetcode.com/problems/shortest-distance-to-a-character/
Given a string s and a character c that occurs in s,
return an array of integers answer where answer.length == s.length and answer[i] is the distance from index i to the closest occurrence of character c in s.
The distance between two indices i and j is abs(i - j), where abs is the absolute value function.

Example 1:
Input: s = "loveleetcode", c = "e"
Output: [3,2,1,0,1,0,0,1,2,2,1,0]
Explanation: The character 'e' appears at indices 3, 5, 6, and 11 (0-indexed).
The closest occurrence of 'e' for index 0 is at index 3, so the distance is abs(0 - 3) = 3.
The closest occurrence of 'e' for index 1 is at index 3, so the distance is abs(1 - 3) = 2.
For index 4, there is a tie between the 'e' at index 3 and the 'e' at index 5, but the distance is still the same: abs(4 - 3) == abs(4 - 5) = 1.
The closest occurrence of 'e' for index 8 is at index 6, so the distance is abs(8 - 6) = 2.

Example 2:
Input: s = "aaab", c = "b"
Output: [3,2,1,0]

Constraints:
1. 1 <= s.length <= 104
2. s[i] and c are lowercase English letters.
3. It is guaranteed that c occurs at least once in s.

/*
Solution:find out all the index of c and char of s, compare those two index and find out the shortest one;
Time:O(n^2), Space:O(n);
