Note: Write a solution that only iterates over the string once and uses O(1) additional memory, since this is what you would be asked to do during a real interview.
Given a string s, find and return the first instance of a non-repeating character in it. If there is no such character, return '_'.
Example
For s = "abacabad", the output should be
firstNotRepeatingCharacter(s) = 'c'.
There are 2 non-repeating characters in the string: 'c' and 'd'. Return c since it appears in the string first.
For s = "abacabaabacaba", the output should be
firstNotRepeatingCharacter(s) = '_'.
There are no characters in this string that do not repeat.
Input/Output
[time limit] 4000ms (rb)
[input] string s
A string that contains only lowercase English letters.
Guaranteed constraints:
1 ≤ s.length ≤ 105.
[output] char
The first non-repeating character in s, or '_' if there are no characters that do not repeat.
