76. Minimum Window Substring

Given two strings s and t of lengths m and n respectively, return the minimum window substring of s such that every character in t (including duplicates) is included in the window. If there is no such substring, return the empty string ""

Example 1:

  • Input: s = "ADOBECODEBANC", t = "ABC"
  • Output: "BANC"
  • Explanation: The minimum window substring “BANC” includes ‘A’, ‘B’, and ‘C’ from string t.

Example 2:

  • Input: s = "a", t = "a"
  • Output: "a"
  • Explanation: The entire string s is the minimum window.

Example 3:

  • Input: s = "a", t = "aa"
  • Output: ""
  • Explanation: Both ’a’s from t must be included in the window. Since the largest window of s only has one ‘a’, return empty string.

Constraints:

  • m == s.length
  • n == t.length
  • 1 <= m, n <= 10^5
  • s and t consist of uppercase and lowercase English letters.

Solution

class Solution:
    def minWindow(self, s: str, t: str) -> str:
