Length of Smallest Window in String

This C++ code finds the length of the smallest window in a string that contains all characters that occur in the string at least once. It uses two arrays, M1 and M2, to track the frequencies of each character in the current window and full string, and iterates through the string to find the window with the minimum size that satisfies the frequency requirement.
