Find the Maximum Length of Repeated Characters in K Changes
You are given a string `s` of lowercase letters and an integer `k`. You can change up to `k` characters in the string to make all characters in a substring the same. Your task is to find the length of the longest substring that can be obtained after performing at most `k` changes.
Input:
- A single line containing the string `s`.
- A single integer `k`.
Output:
- An integer representing the maximum length of the substring after `k` changes.
Example:
Input:
abaa 1
Output:
4
In this example, we can change one 'b' to 'a' to form 'aaaa', resulting in a length of 4.
