We will first count the number of vowels in the whole string. Then we will use a sliding window to find the maximum number of vowels in a substring of given length. We will return the result.
class Solution:
def maxVowels(self, s: str, k: int) -> int:
vowels = {'a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u'}
count = 0
for i in range(k):
count += int(s[i] in vowels)
res = count
for i in range(k, len(s)):
count += int(s[i] in vowels)
count -= int(s[i - k] in vowels)
res = max(res, count)
return res
