/*
* 387. First Unique Character in a String
* Difficulty: Easy
* https://leetcode.com/problems/first-unique-character-in-a-string/
*
* ──────────────────────────────────────────────────
*
* Given a string s, find the first non-repeating character in it and
* return its index. If it does not exist, return -1.
*
*
*
* Example 1:
*
* Input: s = "leetcode"
*
* Output: 0
*
* Explanation:
*
* The character 'l' at index 0 is the first character that does not
* occur at any other index.
*
* Example 2:
*
* Input: s = "loveleetcode"
*
* Output: 2
*
* Example 3:
*
* Input: s = "aabb"
*
* Output: -1
*
*
*
* Constraints:
*
* • 1 <= s.length <= 10^5
*
* • s consists of only lowercase English letters.
