Longest Substring Without Repeating Characters

s is a string. Return the length of the longest stretch of consecutive characters in which no character appears twice.

The stretch must be unbroken. In "pwwkew", "pwke" doesn't count because it skips a character.

longest_unique("pwwkew") → 3 ("wke") longest_unique("") → 0

Aim for O(n).

ins = "abcabcbb"out3
ins = "bbbbb"out1
ins = "pwwkew"out3
