{ "data": { "question": { "questionId": "2487", "questionFrontendId": "2405", "boundTopicId": null, "title": "Optimal Partition of String", "titleSlug": "optimal-partition-of-string", "content": "

Given a string s, partition the string into one or more substrings such that the characters in each substring are unique. That is, no letter appears in a single substring more than once.

\n\n

Return the minimum number of substrings in such a partition.

\n\n

Note that each character should belong to exactly one substring in a partition.

\n\n

 

\n

Example 1:

\n\n
\nInput: s = "abacaba"\nOutput: 4\nExplanation:\nTwo possible partitions are ("a","ba","cab","a") and ("ab","a","ca","ba").\nIt can be shown that 4 is the minimum number of substrings needed.\n
\n\n

Example 2:

\n\n
\nInput: s = "ssssss"\nOutput: 6\nExplanation:\nThe only valid partition is ("s","s","s","s","s","s").\n
