1208. Get Equal Substrings Within Budget
1208. Get Equal Substrings Within Budget
You are given two strings s and t of the same length. You want to change s to t. Changing the i-th
character of s to i-th character of t costs |s[i] - t[i]| that is, the absolute difference between the
ASCII values of the characters.
You are also given an integer maxCost.
Return the maximum length of a substring of s that can be changed to be the same as the corresponding
substring of twith a cost less than or equal to maxCost.
If there is no substring from s that can be changed to its corresponding substring from t, return 0.
Example 1:
Input: s = "abcd", t = "bcdf", cost = 3
Output: 3
Explanation: "abc" of s can change to "bcd". That costs 3, so the maximum length is 3.
Example 2:
Input: s = "abcd", t = "cdef", cost = 3
Output: 1
Explanation: Each charactor in s costs 2 to change to charactor in t, so the maximum length is 1.
Example 3:
Input: s = "abcd", t = "acde", cost = 0
Output: 1
Explanation: You can't make any change, so the maximum length is 1.
Constraints:
1 <= s.length, t.length <= 10^5
0 <= maxCost <= 10^6
s and t only contain lower case English letters.
