<p>You are given a string <code>s</code> and an integer <code>k</code>. You can choose any character of the string and change it to any other uppercase English character. You can perform this operation at most <code>k</code> times.</p>

<p>Return <em>the length of the longest substring containing the same letter you can get after performing the above operations</em>.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong class="example">Example 1:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> s = &quot;ABAB&quot;, k = 2
<strong>Output:</strong> 4
<strong>Explanation:</strong> Replace the two &#39;A&#39;s with two &#39;B&#39;s or vice versa.
</pre>

<p><strong class="example">Example 2:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> s = &quot;AABABBA&quot;, k = 1
<strong>Output:</strong> 4
<strong>Explanation:</strong> Replace the one &#39;A&#39; in the middle with &#39;B&#39; and form &quot;AABBBBA&quot;.
The substring &quot;BBBB&quot; has the longest repeating letters, which is 4.
There may exists other ways to achieve this answer too.</pre>

<p><strong>Constraints:</strong></p>

<ul>
	<li><code>1 &lt;= s.length &lt;= 10<sup>5</sup></code></li>
	<li><code>s</code> consists of only uppercase English letters.</li>
	<li><code>0 &lt;= k &lt;= s.length</code></li>
</ul>

class Solution:
    def characterReplacement(self, s: str, k: int) -> int:

        left = 0
        n = len(s)
        longest = 0
        letter_list = [0] * 26
        
       
  
        #max length for the set can be 3

        for r in range(n):
            letter_list[ord(s[r]) - 65] += 1

            while ((r - left) + 1) - max(letter_list) > k:
                letter_list[ord(s[left]) - 65] -= 1
                left += 1
            curr_longest = (r - left) + 1

            longest = max(longest, curr_longest)
        return longest
