JavaScript: Find longest substring in a given string without repeating characters
JavaScript Function: Exercise-26 with Solution
Write a JavaScript function to find longest substring in a given string without repeating characters.
Sample Solution: -
HTML Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Find longest substring in a given string without repeating characters</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
JavaScript Code:
function longest_substring_without_repeating_characters(input) {
var chars = input.split('');
var curr_char;
var str = "";
var longest_string = "";
var hash = {};
for (var i = 0; i < chars.length; i++) {
curr_char = chars[i];
if (!hash[chars[i]])
{
str += curr_char;
hash[chars[i]] = {index:i};
}
else
{
if(longest_string.length <= str.length)
{
longest_string = str;
}
var prev_dupeIndex = hash[curr_char].index;
var str_FromPrevDupe = input.substring(prev_dupeIndex + 1, i);
str = str_FromPrevDupe + curr_char;
hash = {};
for (var j = prev_dupeIndex + 1; j <= i; j++) {
hash[input.charAt(j)] = {index:j};
}
}
}
return longest_string.length > str.length ? longest_string : str;
}
console.log(longest_substring_without_repeating_characters("google.com"));
console.log(longest_substring_without_repeating_characters("example.com"));
Output:

JavaScript: Tips of the Day
How to insert an item into an array at a specific index (JavaScript)?
What you want is the splice function on the native array object.
arr.splice(index, 0, item); will insert item into arr at the specified index (deleting 0 items first, that is, it's just an insert). In this example we will create an array and add an element to it into index 2:
var arr = []; arr[0] = "Jani"; arr[1] = "Hege"; arr[2] = "Stale"; arr[3] = "Kai Jim"; arr[4] = "Borge"; console.log(arr.join()); arr.splice(2, 0, "Lene"); console.log(arr.join());
