Solution: Count Substrings with Only One Distinct Letter

Explore how to effectively count substrings containing only one distinct letter by tracking consecutive characters and summing their runs. This lesson teaches an O(n) algorithm with constant space complexity, using arithmetic insights to solve the problem without enumerating all substrings.

Statement

Given a string s, return the total number of substrings that contain only one distinct letter.

Constraints:

  • 1 ...
