Sanket and strings

#1

I am not able to solve the problem.plz provided the solution code and explain as well…

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.

Here is link of code

Explaination of basic approach:

Take two-pointer l and r to mark the left and right index of the string under consideration.
starting from l=0,r=0,max=0,count=0.
repeat until r <n
3.1. increase the count whenever you find a different character(by different we mean if we are forming a string of an only, then b is different).
3.2. while count is greater than k,
3.2.1. decrement the count by one if the element at lth index is different.
3.2.1. increment l.
3.3. Compare max with count for maximum value.
3.4. increment r.

left act as left pointer and i as right pointer
