leetcode 23: Longest Substring Without Repeating Characters

Given a string, find the length of the longest substring without repeating characters. For example, the longest substring without repeating letters for "abcabcbb" is "abc", which the length is 3. For "bbbbb" the longest substring is "b", with the length of 1.

mistakes I made:1. forget record start point. I resetted longest to 0 after accountting a repeatted char which is wrong. It should start from the next char following the first char of two repeatted chars.

class Solution {
public:
    int lengthOfLongestSubstring(string s) {
        // Start typing your C/C++ solution below
        // DO NOT write int main() function
        if( s.size() == 0) return 0;
        
        #define MAX_LEN 256
        char flag[MAX_LEN];
        reset(flag, MAX_LEN);
        
        int max = 0;
        int longest = 0;
        int start = 0;
        
        for(int i=0; i<s.size(); i++) {
            if( flag[ s[i] ] == -1 ){
                longest++;
            } else {
                max = max < longest ? longest : max;
                
                for(int j=start; j<i; j++){
                    flag[ s[j] ] = -1;
                    if( s[j] == s[i] ) {
                        start = j + 1;
                        break;
                    }  
                }
                longest = i - start + 1;
                
            }
            
            flag[ s[i] ] = 1;
            
        }
        max = max < longest ? longest : max;
        return max;
    }
    
private:
    void reset(char a[], int n){
        for(int i=0; i<n; i++) {
            a[i] = -1;
        }
    }

        unordered_set<char> myset;

        int start = 0;
        
        for(int i=0; i<sz; i++) {
            char c = s[i];
            
            if( myset.find(c) == myset.end() ) {
                myset.insert(c);
                cur++;
                max = max>cur ? max : cur;
            } else {
                int j=start;
