Find the longest substring without repeating characters

Sliding Window is a subarray running on a large array, which is a collection of underlying elements. Here we use two pointers, one pointer A always selects the first char of the max substring, from each iteration of the string. The second pointer B runs ahead of pointer A, until a duplicate character is found or the end of the string is reached.

Print staircase with both base and height equal to n

Consider a staircase of size n=4, as shown below:       #     ##   ### #### Observe that its base and height are both equal to n, and the image is drawn using # symbols and spaces. The last line is not preceded by any spaces. Write a program that prints a staircase of size n. public static void main(String[] args) { int n = 10; if(n < 1 || n > 100) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("N should be between 0 and 100"); } for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++) { System.out.println(Stream.concat(Stream.generate(() -> " ").limit(n-i), Stream.generate(() -> "#").limit(i)) .collect(Collectors.joining())); } } }
