2272. Substring With Largest Variance

{leetcode}/problems/substring-with-largest-variance/[LeetCode - 2272. Substring With Largest Variance ^]

The variance of a string is defined as the largest difference between the number of occurrences of any 2 characters present in the string. Note the two characters may or may not be the same.

Given a string s consisting of lowercase English letters only, return the largest variance possible among all substrings of s.

A substring is a contiguous sequence of characters within a string.

Example 1:

Input: s = "aababbb"
Output: 3
Explanation:
All possible variances along with their respective substrings are listed below:
- Variance 0 for substrings "a", "aa", "ab", "abab", "aababb", "ba", "b", "bb", and "bbb".
- Variance 1 for substrings "aab", "aba", "abb", "aabab", "ababb", "aababbb", and "bab".
- Variance 2 for substrings "aaba", "ababbb", "abbb", and "babb".
- Variance 3 for substring "babbb".
Since the largest possible variance is 3, we return it.

Example 2:

Input: s = "abcde"
Output: 0
Explanation:
No letter occurs more than once in s, so the variance of every substring is 0.

Constraints:

• 1 ⇐ s.length ⇐ 104

• s consists of lowercase English letters.
