Given string str of size N containing both uppercase and lowercase letters, and an integer K. The task is to find the count of substrings containing exactly K distinct vowels.
Examples:
Input: str = “aeiou”, K = 2
Output: 4
Explanation: The substrings having two distinct vowels are “ae”, “ei”, “io” and “ou”.Input: str = “TrueGoik”, K = 3
Output: 5
Explanation: The substrings are “TrueGo”, “rueGo”, “ueGo”, “eGoi” and “eGoik”.
Approach: The problem can be solved by generating all the substrings. From the generated substrings count the ones having K distinct vowels. Follow the steps mentioned below to implement the approach:
- First generate all substrings starting from each index i in range [0, N]
- Then for each substring, follow the steps:
- Keep a hash array to store the occurrences of unique vowels.
- Check if a new character in the substring is a vowel or not.
- If it is a vowel, increment its occurrence in the hash and keep a count of distinct vowels found
- Now for each substring, if the distinct count of vowels is K, increment the final count.
- If for any loop to find substrings starting from i, the count of distinct vowels exceeds K, or, the substring length has reached string length, break the loop and look for substrings starting from i+1.
- When all the substrings have been considered, print the final count.
Below is implementation of the above approach.

#define MAX 128 // Function to check whether // a character is vowel or not bool isVowel(char x)

|| x == 'O' || x == 'U');
} int getIndex(char ch)
{ return (ch - 'A' > 26 ? ch - 'a' :
ch - 'A');
} // Function to count number of substrings // with exactly k unique vowels int countkDist(string str, int k)
{ int n = str.length();
// Initialize result
int res = 0;
// Consider all substrings
// beginning with str[i]
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
int dist_count = 0;
// To store count of characters
// from 'a' to 'z'
vector<int> cnt(26, 0);
// Consider all substrings
// between str[i..j]
for (int j = i; j < n; j++) {
// If this is a new vowels
// for this substring,
// increment dist_count.
if (isVowel(str[j])
&& cnt[getIndex(str[j])]
== 0)
dist_count++;
// Increment count of
// current character
cnt[getIndex(str[j])]++;
// If distinct vowels count
// becomes k then increment result
if (dist_count == k)
res++;
if (dist_count > k)
break;
}
}
return res;
} // Driver code int main()
{ string str = "TrueGoik";
int K = 3;
cout << countkDist(str, K) << endl;
return 0;
