Solution: Count Substrings with Only One Distinct Letter

Explore how to efficiently count the total number of substrings containing only one distinct letter in a given string. Understand how to use a single pass with a running count of consecutive identical characters for an optimal O(n) time and O(1) space complexity solution. This lesson helps you master the math-based approach to solve string substring problems effectively.

Statement

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