2063. Vowels of All Substrings
Description
Given a string word
, return the sum of the number of vowels ('a'
, 'e'
, 'i'
, 'o'
, and 'u'
) in every substring of word
.
A substring is a contiguous (non-empty) sequence of characters within a string.
Note: Due to the large constraints, the answer may not fit in a signed 32-bit integer. Please be careful during the calculations.
Example 1:
Input: word = "aba" Output: 6 Explanation: All possible substrings are: "a", "ab", "aba", "b", "ba", and "a". - "b" has 0 vowels in it - "a", "ab", "ba", and "a" have 1 vowel each - "aba" has 2 vowels in it Hence, the total sum of vowels = 0 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 6.
Example 2:
Input: word = "abc" Output: 3 Explanation: All possible substrings are: "a", "ab", "abc", "b", "bc", and "c". - "a", "ab", and "abc" have 1 vowel each - "b", "bc", and "c" have 0 vowels each Hence, the total sum of vowels = 1 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 3.
Example 3:
Input: word = "ltcd" Output: 0 Explanation: There are no vowels in any substring of "ltcd".
Constraints:
1 <= word.length <= 105
word
consists of lowercase English letters.
Solutions
Solution 1: Enumerate Contribution
We can enumerate each character $\textit{word}[i]$ in the string. If $\textit{word}[i]$ is a vowel, then $\textit{word}[i]$ appears in $(i + 1) \times (n - i)$ substrings. We sum up the counts of these substrings.
The time complexity is $O(n)$, where $n$ is the length of the string $\textit{word}$. The space complexity is $O(1)$.
Python3
class Solution:
def countVowels(self, word: str) -> int:
n = len(word)
return sum((i + 1) * (n - i) for i, c in enumerate(word) if c in 'aeiou')
Java
class Solution {
public long countVowels(String word) {
long ans = 0;
for (int i = 0, n = word.length(); i < n; ++i) {
char c = word.charAt(i);
if (c == 'a' || c == 'e' || c == 'i' || c == 'o' || c == 'u') {
ans += (i + 1L) * (n - i);
}
}
return ans;
}
}
C++
class Solution {
public:
long long countVowels(string word) {
long long ans = 0;
for (int i = 0, n = word.size(); i < n; ++i) {
char c = word[i];
if (c == 'a' || c == 'e' || c == 'i' || c == 'o' || c == 'u') {
ans += (i + 1LL) * (n - i);
}
}
return ans;
}
};
Go
func countVowels(word string) (ans int64) {
for i, c := range word {
if c == 'a' || c == 'e' || c == 'i' || c == 'o' || c == 'u' {
ans += int64((i + 1) * (len(word) - i))
}
}
return
}
TypeScript
function countVowels(word: string): number {
const n = word.length;
let ans = 0;
for (let i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
if (['a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u'].includes(word[i])) {
ans += (i + 1) * (n - i);
}
}
return ans;
}
Rust
impl Solution {
pub fn count_vowels(word: String) -> i64 {
let n = word.len() as i64;
word.chars()
.enumerate()
.filter(|(_, c)| "aeiou".contains(*c))
.map(|(i, _)| (i as i64 + 1) * (n - i as i64))
.sum()
}
}
JavaScript
/**
* @param {string} word
* @return {number}
*/
