1438. 较大分组的位置

 

在一个由小写字母构成的字符串 S 中，包含由一些连续的相同字符所构成的分组。

例如，在字符串 S = "abbxxxxzyy" 中，就含有 "a", "bb", "xxxx", "z" 和 "yy"这样的一些分组。

我们称所有包含大于或等于三个连续字符的分组为较大分组。找到每一个较大分组的起始和终止位置。

最终结果按照字典顺序输出。

样例

Example 1:

Input: "abbxxxxzzy"

Output: [[3,6]]

Explanation: "xxxx" is the single large group with starting 3 and ending positions 6.

Example 2:

Input: "abc"

Output: []

Explanation: We have "a","b" and "c" but no large group.

Example 3:

Input: "abcdddeeeeaabbbcd"

Output: [[3,5],[6,9],[12,14]]

注意事项

1 <= S.length <= 1000
