Count of all unique substrings with non-repeating characters

Last Updated : 24 Mar, 2023

Given a string str consisting of lowercase characters, the task is to find the total number of unique substrings with non-repeating characters.

Examples:

Input: str = "abba"
Output: 4
Explanation:
There are 4 unique substrings. They are: "a", "ab", "b", "ba".

Input: str = "acbacbacaa"
Output: 10

Approach: The idea is to iterate over all the substrings. For every substring, check whether each particular character has previously occurred or not. If so, then increase the count of required substrings. In the end return this count as count of all unique substrings with non-repeating characters.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

CPP

// C++ program to find the count of
// all unique sub-strings with
// non-repeating characters

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

// Function to count all unique
// distinct character substrings
int distinctSubstring(string& P, int N)
{
    // Hashmap to store all substrings
    unordered_set<string> S;

    // Iterate over all the substrings
    for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i) {

        // Boolean array to maintain all
        // characters encountered so far
        vector<bool> freq(26, false);

        // Variable to maintain the
        // substring till current position
        string s;

        for (int j = i; j < N; ++j) {

            // Get the position of the
            // character in the string
            int pos = P[j] - 'a';

            // Check if the character is
            // encountred
            if (freq[pos] == true)
                break;

            freq[pos] = true;

            // Add the current character
            // to the substring
            s += P[j];

            // Insert substring in Hashmap
            S.insert(s);
        }
    }

    return S.size();
}

// Driver code
int main()
{
    string S = "abba";
    int N = S.length();

    cout << distinctSubstring(S, N);

    return 0;
}

Java

// Java program to find the count of
// all unique sub-Strings with
// non-repeating characters
import java.util.*;

class GFG{
 
// Function to count all unique
// distinct character subStrings
static int distinctSubString(String P, int N)
{
    // Hashmap to store all subStrings
    HashSet<String> S = new HashSet<String>();
 
    // Iterate over all the subStrings
    for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i) {
 
        // Boolean array to maintain all
        // characters encountered so far
        boolean []freq = new boolean[26];
 
        // Variable to maintain the
        // subString till current position
        String s = "";
 
        for (int j = i; j < N; ++j) {
 
            // Get the position of the
            // character in the String
            int pos = P.charAt(j) - 'a';
 
            // Check if the character is
            // encountred
            if (freq[pos] == true)
                break;
 
            freq[pos] = true;
 
            // Add the current character
            // to the subString
            s += P.charAt(j);
 
            // Insert subString in Hashmap
            S.add(s);
        }
    }
 
    return S.size();
}
 
// Driver code
public static void main(String[] args)
{
    String S = "abba";
    int N = S.length();
 
    System.out.print(distinctSubString(S, N)); 
}
}

Time Complexity: O(N²) where N is the length of the string.
Auxiliary Space: O(N²), to store all substrings in hashmap.
