LeetCode Challenge #1446. Consecutive Characters

The power of the string is the maximum length of a non-empty substring that contains only one unique character.

Given a string s, return the power of s.

 

Example 1:

Input: s = "leetcode"
Output: 2
Explanation: The substring "ee" is of length 2 with the character 'e' only.

Example 2:

Input: s = "abbcccddddeeeeedcba"
Output: 5
Explanation: The substring "eeeee" is of length 5 with the character 'e' only.

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= s.length <= 500
  • s consists of only lowercase English letters.

Java Solution
				
					class Solution {
    public int maxPower(String s) {
        int max = 1;
        int count = 1 ;

        for(int i=1 ;i<s.length();i++){
            char curr = s.charAt(i);
            char pre = s.charAt(i-1);

            if(curr==pre ){
                count++;
            }else{
                max = Math.max(max,count);
                count = 1 ;
            }
        }
         max = Math.max(max,count);
         return max ;
    }
}
