For a given array ${\mathrm{a1,a2,a3,...,aNa1,a2,a3,...,aN of NN elements\; and\; an\; integer KK,\; find\; the\; smallest\; sub-array\; size\; (smallest\; window\; length)\; where\; the\; elements\; in\; the\; sub-array\; contains\; all\; integers\; in\; range\; [1,2,...,K1,2,...,K].\; If\; there\; is\; no\; such\; sub-array,\; report\; 0.}}^{}$

leetcode problem 76  minimum window substring

follow up of the previous problem: 1.can find duplicate elements  2. string instead of numbers

For string: create the hashmap: key: char, value: integer

For duplicate number: create the original hashmap for conditions.

//if(num==0) sum++;
//if(num<1) sum++; // first appears or <
if(num<Tmap.get(c)) sum++;
map.put(c,++num);

the evolving process from the last to the current one and it is interesting that num id always >=0
