I have the code
public static int count(String text, char letter)
{
int amount = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < text.length(); i++)
{
if(text.charAt(i) == letter)
amount++;
}
return amount;
}
to count how many times a certain letter appears in a String (ex: eeeeee
has 6 e
's).
But how would I go about returning the number of times a character appears consecutively with only one String parameter?
For example:
AAbcde
would return 1
(one a
after the first a
) abcde
would return 0
(no consecutive count) abccd
would return 1
(one c
after the first c
) aabccc
would return 3
(one a
after the first a
+ two c
's after the first c
) Is there any simple way to achieve this similar to the code I already have?
You can try next code
public static int count(String text)
{
int amount = 0;
for(int i = 1; i < text.length(); i++)
{
if(text.charAt(i) == text.charAt(i-1))
amount++;
}
return amount;
}
