String without repeated characters


I have r = to how many times can letter be repeated in a row and s = to string to check.
For example if s = "aaabbbccc777" and r = 2. result = "aabbcc77".
I need it to be dynamic and as easy and clean as possible.

Thanks for the help in advance.

let s = "bbbaaaccc777cdggg";
let r = 2;

const verification = (s, r) => {
    
}
verification(s, r);

Solution

  • You can iterate over the string like this:

    const verification = (s, r) => {
        let res = '', last = null, counter = 0;
        s.split('').forEach(char => {
            if (char == last)
                counter++;
            else {
                counter = 0;
                last = char;
            }
            if (counter < r)
                res += char;
        });    
        return res;
    }
