Longest Substring Without Repeating CharactersStep-by-Step Visualization

This problem introduces the Sliding Window technique for string processing.

Problem Statement

Given a string s, find the length of the longest substring without repeating characters.

Approach

Use a sliding window (left, right) and a Set/Map to track characters in the window. Expand right. If char is in the set, contract left until char is removed. Update max length at each step.

Time & Space Complexity

Time complexity is O(n). Space complexity is O(min(n, m)) where m is char set size.
