Solution: Count Substrings with Only One Distinct Letter

Explore an efficient solution to count substrings with only one distinct letter in a given string. Understand how to track consecutive character runs to compute the total count in linear time and constant space. This lesson helps you apply a mathematical approach 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 ...
