2262\. Total Appeal of A String

Hard

The **appeal** of a string is the number of **distinct** characters found in the string.

*   For example, the appeal of `"abbca"` is `3` because it has `3` distinct characters: `'a'`, `'b'`, and `'c'`.

Given a string `s`, return _the **total appeal of all of its **substrings**.**_

A **substring** is a contiguous sequence of characters within a string.

**Example 1:**

**Input:** s = "abbca"

**Output:** 28

**Explanation:** The following are the substrings of "abbca":

- Substrings of length 1: "a", "b", "b", "c", "a" have an appeal of 1, 1, 1, 1, and 1 respectively. The sum is 5.

- Substrings of length 2: "ab", "bb", "bc", "ca" have an appeal of 2, 1, 2, and 2 respectively. The sum is 7.

- Substrings of length 3: "abb", "bbc", "bca" have an appeal of 2, 2, and 3 respectively. The sum is 7.

- Substrings of length 4: "abbc", "bbca" have an appeal of 3 and 3 respectively. The sum is 6.

- Substrings of length 5: "abbca" has an appeal of 3. The sum is 3.

The total sum is 5 + 7 + 7 + 6 + 3 = 28. 

**Example 2:**

**Input:** s = "code"

**Output:** 20

**Explanation:** The following are the substrings of "code":

- Substrings of length 1: "c", "o", "d", "e" have an appeal of 1, 1, 1, and 1 respectively. The sum is 4.

- Substrings of length 2: "co", "od", "de" have an appeal of 2, 2, and 2 respectively. The sum is 6.

- Substrings of length 3: "cod", "ode" have an appeal of 3 and 3 respectively. The sum is 6.

- Substrings of length 4: "code" has an appeal of 4. The sum is 4.

The total sum is 4 + 6 + 6 + 4 = 20. 

**Constraints:**

*   1 <= s.length <= 10⁵
*   `s` consists of lowercase English letters.
