1208. Get Equal Substrings Within Budget

https://leetcode.com/problems/get-equal-substrings-within-budget

Description

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", maxCost = 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", maxCost = 3
**Output:** 1
**Explanation:** Each character in s costs 2 to change to charactor in t, so the maximum length is 1.

Example 3:

**Input:** s = "abcd", t = "acde", maxCost = 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.
