438. Find All Anagrams in a String

Medium

Given two strings s and p, return an array of all the start indices of p’s anagrams in s. You may return the answer in any order.

An Anagram is a word or phrase formed by rearranging the letters of a different word or phrase, typically using all the original letters exactly once.

Example 1:

Input: s = “cbaebabacd”, p = “abc”

Output: [0,6]

Explanation:

The substring with start index = 0 is "cba", which is an anagram of "abc".
The substring with start index = 6 is "bac", which is an anagram of "abc". 

Example 2:

Input: s = “abab”, p = “ab”

Output: [0,1,2]

Explanation:

The substring with start index = 0 is "ab", which is an anagram of "ab".
The substring with start index = 1 is "ba", which is an anagram of "ab".
The substring with start index = 2 is "ab", which is an anagram of "ab".

            // add the new character
            map[idx]--;
            // if the length is greater than windows length, pop the left charcater in the window
            if (i >= p.Length) {

                if (map[k] != 0) {
                    finish = false;
