Michelle has created a word game for her students. the word game begins with michelle writing a string and a number, k, on the board. the students must find a substring of size k such that there is exactly one character that is repeated one; in other words, there should be k - 1 distinct characters in the substring.

This question is incomplete. However, a possible algorithm to find a solution would be:

let String be the string written by the teacher
let k be the size of the substrings
let L be a set of substrings of length k
let M be a set of substrings of length k with k-1 distinct characters 
let temp be a temporary string
while String >= k {
    let temp be the first four characters of String
    add temp to L
    delete the first character of String
}
For each substring in L{
   int distinct_characters = 4
   for int i = 1 to 3 {
        char t = ith character of substring
         for int j = i to 4{
               if jth character of substring = t then{
                    distinct_characters = distinct_characters - 1
               }
         }
   }
   if distinct_characters = 3 then{
       add substring to M
   }   
}
  

Hold on lemme do the work
