Problem
You are given two strings s
and t
of the same length and an integer maxCost
.
You want to change s
to t
. Changing the ith
character of s
to ith
character of t
costs |s[i] - t[i]|
(i.e., the absolute difference between the ASCII values of the characters).
Return the maximum length of a substring of s
that can be changed to be the same as the corresponding substring of t
with 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 character in t, so the maximum length is 1.
Example 3:
Input: s = "abcd", t = "acde", maxCost = 0 Output: 1 Explanation: You cannot make any change, so the maximum length is 1.
Constraints:
1 <= s.length <= 105
t.length == s.length
0 <= maxCost <= 106
s
andt
consist of only lowercase English letters.
