Count vowel-only substrings with all vowels

Q: Count vowel-only substrings with all vowels

This question evaluates string-processing and algorithm design skills, specifically the use of sliding-window/two-pointer techniques and linear-time algorithmic optimization for counting substrings, and falls under the Coding & Algorithms domain with an emphasis on practical application rather than purely conceptual theory.

Question

Given a lowercase English string s, return the number of contiguous substrings that (

consist only of vowels from the set {a, e, i, o, u}, and (
contain each of the five vowels at least once. Constraints: 1 <= |s| <= 200000. Design an O(n) time solution using a sliding-window/two-pointer approach with O(
extra space. Explain how you handle consonants that break windows, repeated vowels, and long runs of vowels. Provide code and analyze time and space complexity.
