LeetCode in Kotlin

1759. Count Number of Homogenous Substrings

Medium

Given a string s, return the number of homogenous substrings of s. Since the answer may be too large, return it modulo 109 + 7.

A string is homogenous if all the characters of the string are the same.

A substring is a contiguous sequence of characters within a string.

Example 1:

Input: s = “abbcccaa”

Output: 13

Explanation: The homogenous substrings are listed as below:

“a” appears 3 times.

“aa” appears 1 time.

“b” appears 2 times.

“bb” appears 1 time.

“c” appears 3 times.

“cc” appears 2 times.

“ccc” appears 1 time.

3 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 13.

Example 2:

Input: s = “xy”

Output: 2

Explanation: The homogenous substrings are “x” and “y”.

Example 3:

Input: s = “zzzzz”

Output: 15

Solution

class Solution {
    fun countHomogenous(s: String): Int {
        var total = 0
        var count = 0
        for (i in 0 until s.length) {
            if (i > 0 && s[i] == s[i - 1]) {
                count++
            } else {
                count = 1
            }
            total = (total + count) % 1000000007
        }
        return total
    }
}
