maximum-difference-between-even-and-odd-frequency-i


You are given a string s consisting of lowercase English letters.



Your task is to find the maximum difference diff = freq(a1) - freq(a2) between the frequency of characters a1 and a2 in the string such that:




  • a1 has an odd frequency in the string.

  • a2 has an even frequency in the string.



Return this maximum difference.



 


Example 1:




Input: s = "aaaaabbc"



Output: 3



Explanation:




  • The character 'a' has an odd frequency of 5, and 'b' has an even frequency of 2.

  • The maximum difference is 5 - 2 = 3.




Example 2:




Input: s = "abcabcab"



Output: 1



Explanation:




  • The character 'a' has an odd frequency of 3, and 'c' has an even frequency of 2.

  • The maximum difference is 3 - 2 = 1.




 


Constraints:




  • 3 <= s.length <= 100

  • s consists only of lowercase English letters.

  • s contains at least one character with an odd frequency and one with an even frequency.
