Print continuous longest substring without repeting chars from a charcter array

Longest consecutive substring without repetition


To find the longest substring without repetition of characters from an array of characters.
Let's suppose the string is "helloforhellowhy"
There are 1 continuous substring, with maximum length, without char repetition
"forhel" -- length =6

Another Example String: "nevertheless"  
 Maximum length without repetition: "verth" -- length = 5

String : aback
output: back -- length = 4

Belwo program prints the first string. It can be modified a bit to print all the possible substrings with maximum length
