#K46622. Longest Consecutive Character Group
Longest Consecutive Character Group
Longest Consecutive Character Group
You are given a string \( s \) consisting of lowercase English letters. Your task is to determine the length of the longest group of consecutive identical characters in \( s \).
A group is defined as a contiguous sequence in which the same character repeats one or more times. Formally, if \( s = s_1 s_2 \dots s_n \), find the maximum value of \( k \) such that for some index \( i \), \( s_i = s_{i+1} = \cdots = s_{i+k-1} \). It is guaranteed that \( 1 \leq |s| \leq 10^5 \).
Note: All formulas are in LaTeX format.
inputFormat
The input consists of a single line containing a string \( s \) of lowercase English letters. There are no extra spaces or extra lines.
\( 1 \leq |s| \leq 10^5 \)
outputFormat
Output a single integer representing the length of the longest group of consecutive identical characters in the string.
