Get Equal Substrings Within Budget

You are given two strings s and t of the same length and an integer maxCost.

You want to change s to t. Changing the i^th character of s to the i^th character of t costs |s[i] - t[i]|, the absolute difference between the ASCII values of the characters.

Return the maximum length of a substring of s that can be changed to be the same as the corresponding substring of t with a cost less than or equal to maxCost. If there is no substring from s that can be changed to its corresponding substring from t, return 0.

Example 1
Inputs = "abcd", t = "bcdf", maxCost = 3
Output3
"abc" of s can change to "bcd" with total cost 3, so the maximum length is 3.
Example 2
Inputs = "abcd", t = "cdef", maxCost = 3
Output1
Each character in s costs 2 to change to the corresponding character in t, so the maximum length is 1.

Constraints

  • 1 <= s.length <= 10^5
  • t.length == s.length
  • 0 <= maxCost <= 10^6
  • s and t consist of only lowercase English letters.
