In a deep space transmission, signals are represented as strings of characters. A signal block is a sequence of identical characters. Given a transmission string, count the number of signal blocks, ignoring any single character that does not have any consecutive identical characters.
Explanation: Step-by-step: 1. Initialize a counter to 0. 2. Iterate through the string. 3. If the current character is the same as the previous one, increment the counter. 4. If the current character is different from the previous one, reset the counter. 5. After iterating through the entire string, return the counter. For input AAAABBBCC, the counter will be incremented for 'AAAABBB' and 'CC', resulting in a final count of 2.
Explanation: Step-by-step: 1. Initialize a counter to 0. 2. Iterate through the string. 3. Since 'A' is not the same as 'B' and 'B' is not the same as 'C', the counter will remain 0. Therefore, the final count is 0.
