LeetCode-in-Java
1446. Consecutive Characters
Easy
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 <= 500sconsists of only lowercase English letters.
Solution
public class Solution {
public int maxPower(String s) {
int max = 0;
int i = 0;
while (i < s.length()) {
int start = i;
while (i + 1 < s.length() && s.charAt(i) == s.charAt(i + 1)) {
i++;
}
max = Math.max(max, i - start + 1);
i++;
}
return max;
}
}
