So I preapred an example with gradle spring boot, sqlite and h2 console and answered the question. ...

How to find how many characters are repeating in a string. @Test void anotherQ() { // Q1 -- given a String like aaabbbcccaa need to return output like a3b3c3a2. String input = "aaabbbcccazzdddxx"; char[] arr = input.toCharArray(); for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) { char c = arr[i]; int charCounter = 1; System.out.print(c); while (i + 1 < arr.length && c == arr[i + 1]) { charCounter++; i++; } System.out.print(charCounter); } System.out.println("\n" + transformString(input)); } public static String transformString(String input) { if (input == null || input.isEmpty()) { return input; } StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder(); int count = 1; char currentChar = input.charAt(0); for (int i = 1; i < input.length(); i++) { char c = input.charAt(i); if (c == currentChar) { count++; } else { result.append(currentChar).append(count); count = 1; currentChar = c; } } result.append(currentChar).append(count); return result.toString(); } The output is “a3b3c3a1z2d3x2” find the working code here for full working example. ...
