{ "data": { "question": { "questionId": "857", "questionFrontendId": "830", "boundTopicId": null, "title": "Positions of Large Groups", "titleSlug": "positions-of-large-groups", "content": "

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

\n\n

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

\n\n

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].

\n\n

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

\n\n

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

\n\n

 

\n

Example 1:

\n\n
\nInput: s = "abbxxxxzzy"\nOutput: [[3,6]]\nExplanation: "xxxx" is the only large group with start index 3 and end index 6.\n
\n\n

Example 2:

\n\n
\nInput: s = "abc"\nOutput: []\nExplanation: We have groups "a", "b", and "c", none of which are large groups.\n
\n\n

Example 3:

\n\n
\nInput: s = "abcdddeeeeaabbbcd"\nOutput: [[3,5],[6,9],[12,14]]\nExplanation: The large groups are "ddd", "eeee", and "bbb".\n
