Problem
We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in a string. Our function should return an array of exactly two elements the first element will be characters that makes the most number of consecutive appearances in the string and second will be its number of appearances.
Example
Following is the code −
const str = 'tdfdffddffsdsfffffsdsdsddddd'; const findConsecutiveCount = (str = '') => { let res=''; let count=1; let arr = [] for (let i=0;i<str.length;i++){ if (str[i]===str[i+1]){ count++ } else { if (arr.every(v=>v<count)){ res=str[i]+count } arr.push(count) count=1 } } return !res?['',0]:[res.slice(0,1),res.slice(1)*1]; }; console.log(findConsecutiveCount(str));
Output
['f', 5]
