763. Partition Labels

Medium

You are given a string s. We want to partition the string into as many parts as possible so that each letter appears in at most one part.

Return a list of integers representing the size of these parts.

Example 1:

Input: s = “ababcbacadefegdehijhklij”

Output: [9,7,8]

Explanation:

The partition is "ababcbaca", "defegde", "hijhklij".
This is a partition so that each letter appears in at most one part.
A partition like "ababcbacadefegde", "hijhklij" is incorrect, because it splits s into less parts. 

Example 2:

Input: s = “eccbbbbdec”

Output: [10]

Solution

class Solution {
    /**
     * @param String $s
     * @return Integer[]
     */
    public function partitionLabels($s) {
        $letters = str_split($s);
        $result = array();
        $position = array_fill(0, 26, 0);
        for ($i = 0; $i < count($letters); $i++) {
            $position[ord($letters[$i]) - ord('a')] = $i;
        }
        $i = 0;
        $prev = -1;
        $max = 0;
        while ($i < count($letters)) {
            if ($position[ord($letters[$i]) - ord('a')] > $max) {
                $max = $position[ord($letters[$i]) - ord('a')];
            }
            if ($i == $max) {
                array_push($result, $i - $prev);
                $prev = $i;
            }
            $i++;
        }
        return $result;
    }
}
