OP solved it closing

Ah, that makes some sense, but I think how you're checking it is not gonna work. I'd suggest starting over and looking at other ways to solve the problem, maybe there's some data structures that could help you o_O

I'm really struggling to figure out what is it that you're trying to do.

Your code seems to be checking only adjacent characters, but they could repeat anywhere in the string.

matchArray[i] = (arr[i])

That line just fills the array with holes when if condition isn't met, and the if before doesn't make much sense.

The first if makes no sense to me whatsoever, I don't know when it would ever be true.

Fundamentally, the way you're checking for repeating characters seems to be way off =/

Also, when posting code, please use Markdown Formatting which makes code easier to read.
