#+ANKI_DECK: study_deck_02 * TODO 0076. Minimum Window Substring :hard: :PROPERTIES: :NEETCODE: [[file:../../roadmap.org::*0076. Minimum Window Substring][0076. Minimum Window Substring]] :END: 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 /~""~. The testcases will be generated such that the answer is *unique*. *Example 1:* #+begin_src Input: s = "ADOBECODEBANC", t = "ABC" Output: "BANC" Explanation: The minimum window substring "BANC" includes 'A', 'B', and 'C' from string t. #+end_src *Example 2:* #+begin_src Input: s = "a", t = "a" Output: "a" Explanation: The entire string s is the minimum window. #+end_src *Example 3:* #+begin_src 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. #+end_src *Constraints:* - ~m == s.length~ - ~n == t.length~ - ~1 <= m, n <= 10^{5}~ - ~s~ and ~t~ consist of uppercase and lowercase English letters. *Follow up:* Could you find an algorithm that runs in ~O(m + n)~ time? ** TODO Approach Write your approach here. ** TODO Python #+begin_src python :lc-problem 76 :lc-lang python3 class Solution: def minWindow(self, s: str, t: str) -> str: #+end_src ** TODO C++ #+begin_src cpp :lc-problem 76 class Solution { public: string minWindow(string s, string t) { } }; #+end_src
