/*
 * @description : Given a string, the function finds the length of the longest substring without any repeating characters
 * @param {String} str - The input string
 * @returns {Number} The Length of the longest substring in a given string without repeating characters
 * @example lengthOfLongestSubstring("abcabcbb") => 3
 * @example lengthOfLongestSubstring("bbbbb") => 1
