Longest Repeating Character Replacement
Given a string s and an integer k, you can replace at most k characters in the string to make all characters in the string the same. Return the length of the longest substring that can be obtained.
Input:
- The first line contains an integer n (1 ≤ n ≤ 10^5): the length of the string.
- The second line contains the string s (1 ≤ |s| ≤ 10^5): a string of lowercase letters.
- The third line contains an integer k (1 ≤ k ≤ n): the maximum number of characters you can replace.
Output:
- A single integer representing the length of the longest substring that you can obtain.
