Longest repeating substring length

CodingAlgorithms & data structuresSenior–Staff~35 min

Given a string s, find the length of the longest substring that occurs at least twice in s (occurrences may overlap). Return 0 if no character repeats. 1 <= len(s) <= 30000, lowercase letters. Aim for better than O(n^2) substring enumeration.

What a strong answer looks like

State your approach and its time/space complexity out loud before you optimize. Handle the edge cases (empty input, duplicates, overflow), and say why you chose this over the brute force. Green tests are the floor, not the grade.
