genius

did the same, so neat!

Just a heads up, the default case is for those wild, unexpected situations, not when you're too lazy to add the last case.

Oh, indeed, input is string, not list :)

who can explain me this

just tested 'wqqq' case. indeed it fails.

love it

You are not first who noticed that) At the very bottom of commets you'll see almost the same statement from seven years ago. Nothing's changed since then:) Personally I did't test this solution.

No, It will fail in some cases like s = 'wqqq'.

But I think you're not seeing the forest for the trees here. The approach itself is incorrect (try inputs like aaab provided by other commenters); I think that's the main issue first and foremost
