We initialized two empty lists, consecutive_chars for storing consecutive same characters strings, and current_consecutive for storing the currently checked consecutive characters. We assigned the first character of the string to current_consecutive. Then, we used a loop to iterate over each character of the string starting from the second character. If the current character is the same as the last character of current_consecutive, we add it to current_consecutive. If it is different, it means we have found a consecutive same character string, so we add it to consecutive_chars and reset current_consecutive to the current character. Finally, we also need to add the last consecutive same character string to consecutive_chars and return it.<\/p>\n<p>I hope this can help you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You can iterate through each character in a string using a loop, checking if it is the same as the previous character.
