438. Find All Anagrams in a String

Medium

Given two strings s and p, return an array of all the start indices of p’s anagrams in s. You may return the answer in any order.

An Anagram is a word or phrase formed by rearranging the letters of a different word or phrase, typically using all the original letters exactly once.

Example 1:

Input: s = “cbaebabacd”, p = “abc”

Output: [0,6]

Explanation:

The substring with start index = 0 is “cba”, which is an anagram of “abc”.

The substring with start index = 6 is “bac”, which is an anagram of “abc”.

Example 2:

Input: s = “abab”, p = “ab”

Output: [0,1,2]

Explanation:

The substring with start index = 0 is “ab”, which is an anagram of “ab”.

The substring with start index = 1 is “ba”, which is an anagram of “ab”.

The substring with start index = 2 is “ab”, which is an anagram of “ab”.

use std::collections::VecDeque;

impl Solution {
    pub fn find_anagrams(s: String, p: String) -> Vec<i32> {
        let mut map = vec![0; 26];
        let p_len = p.len();
        let s_len = s.len();
        
        // Fill the map with the character frequencies of string `p`
        for ch in p.chars() {
            map[ch as usize - 'a' as usize] += 1;
        }

        let mut res = Vec::new();
        let mut j = 0;

        // Sliding window
        for i in 0..s_len {
            let idx = s.as_bytes()[i] as usize - 'a' as usize;
            map[idx] -= 1;

            // If window size exceeds p_len, remove the left character
            if i >= p_len {
                let left_idx = s.as_bytes()[j] as usize - 'a' as usize;
                map[left_idx] += 1;
                j += 1;
            }

            // Check if the window is an anagram of `p`
            if i >= p_len - 1 && map.iter().all(|&x| x == 0) {
                res.push(j as i32);
