3303. Find the Occurrence of First Almost Equal Substring
You are given two strings s and pattern. A string x is called almost equal to y if you can change at most one character in x to make it identical to y. Return the smallest starting index of a substring in s that is almost equal to pattern. If no such index exists, return -1. A substring is a contiguous non-empty sequence of characters within a string. Example 1: Input: s = "abcdefg", pattern
