This algorithm will work perfectly fine for what you want to develop:
Before that, let me make it clear that if you want to check repeatitions of 2 different characters same number of times, you have to run a for loop
in reverse
to identify the 2nd character. So if
the 2nd character is not same as the first one identified, and also if it's number of repeatitions are the same, you print
both the characters or else
, just print
the single character you find at the first for loop
because both the characters are going to be same.
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter String 1: ");
String A1 = sc.nextLine();
MaxRepeat(A1);
}
public static void MaxRepeat(String A) {
int count = 1;
int max1 = 1;
char mostrepeated1 = ' ';
for(int i = 0; i < A.length()-1;i++) {
char number = A.charAt(i);
if(number == A.charAt(i+1)) {
count++;
if(count>max1) {
max1 = count;
mostrepeated1 = number;
}
continue;
}
count = 1;
}
count = 1;
int max2 = 1;
char mostrepeated2 = ' ';
for(int i = A.length()-1; i>0; i--) {
char number = A.charAt(i);
if(number == A.charAt(i-1)) {
count++;
if(count>max2) {
max2 = count;
mostrepeated2 = number;
}
continue;
}
count = 1;
}
if((max1==max2) && (mostrepeated1==mostrepeated2)) {
System.out.println("Most Consecutively repeated character is: " + mostrepeated1 + " and is repeated " + max1 + " times.");
}
else if((max1==max2) && (mostrepeated1!=mostrepeated2)) {
System.out.println("Most continously repeated characters are: " + mostrepeated1 + " and " + mostrepeated2 + " and they are repeated " + max1 + " times");
}
}
