@kunalarora123 hey kunal did you open your editorial ?

yes sir.but could not understand.and also the code is in java while i use c++

could u pls explain it sir??

hey kunal
Sanket has a string consisting of only a and b as the characters. Sanket describes perfectness of a string as the maximum length substring of equal characters. Sanket is given a number K which denotes the maximum number of characters he can change. Find the maximum perfectness he can generate by swapping no more than k characters.

Basically, there is a string which consists of only a and b. A substring is a contiguous sequence of characters within a string. Our aim is to generate substrings of a and b by swapping characters such that the lengths of substrings of either a or b is maximum possible. The only constraint we have here is that only k swaps are allowed. So, you have to tell the maximum possible length of the substrings that can be generated. By swapping, we mean that a can be replaced by b and b can be replaced by a.

For example:
Consider the following string: abba and k = 2
So, we can make only two swaps

abba (swaps = 0)
aaba (swaps = 1)
aaaa (swaps = 2)

Thus, the maximum length of substring is 4.

Consider the string: ababab and k=2

ababab (swaps = 0)
aaabab (swaps =1)
aaaaab (swaps = 2)

Thus, the maximum length of substring is 5.

the dry run of the above code is in the link sanket and strings

Sir, why is variable named ‘left’ used in the code??

@jaiskid I am just using only for traversing the given string.

Thanks sir.Understood the concept.

but what if the strinng is “abababaabbaaa” and the value of K is 2. pls check it out.

answer is 7 , it is correct
