830. Positions of Large Groups

Level - easy

Task

In a string s of lowercase letters, these letters form consecutive groups of the same character.

For example, a string like s = "abbxxxxzyy" has the groups "a", "bb", "xxxx", "z", and "yy".

A group is identified by an interval [start, end], where start and end denote the start and end indices (inclusive) of the group. In the above example, "xxxx" has the interval [3,6].

A group is considered large if it has 3 or more characters.

Return the intervals of every large group sorted in increasing order by start index.

Объяснение

Задача требует от нас найти все группы подряд идущих одинаковых символов в строке и вернуть их начальные и конечные позиции. Группа считается "большой", если она состоит из трех или более одинаковых символов.

Например:

Ввод: "abbxxxxzzy"
Вывод: [[3, 6]]
Объяснение: Группа "xxxx" начинается с индекса 3 и заканчивается на индексе 6.

Объяснение

Example 1:

Input: s = "abbxxxxzzy"
Output: [[3,6]]
Explanation: "xxxx" is the only large group with start index 3 and end index 6.

Example 2:

Input: s = "abc"
Output: []
Explanation: We have groups "a", "b", and "c", none of which are large groups.

Example 3:

Input: s = "abcdddeeeeaabbbcd"
Output: [[3,5],[6,9],[12,14]]
Explanation: The large groups are "ddd", "eeee", and "bbb".

Constraints:

• 1 <= s.length <= 1000
• s contains lowercase English letters only.
