Minimum Window Substring

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
Inputs = "ADOBECODEBANC", t = "ABC"
Output"BANC"
The minimum window substring "BANC" includes 'A', 'B', and 'C' from string t.
Example 2
Inputs = "a", t = "a"
Output"a"
Both 'a's from t must be included in the window. Since the largest window of s only has one 'a', return empty string.

Constraints

  • m == s.length
  • n == t.length
  • 1 <= m, n <= 10^5
  • s and t consist of uppercase and lowercase English letters.
