In python, Write a function (name: identi Substring) that, given a string S, returns an integer that represents the numbers of ways in which we can select a non-empty substring of S where all of the characters of the substring are identical. Two substrings with the same letters but different in locations are still considered different. For example, the string "zzzyz" contains 8 such substrings. Four instances of "z", two of "zz", one of "zzz" and one instance of "y". String "k" contains only one such substring:"k". The length of S will be between 1 and 100, inclusive. Each character in S will be a lowercase letter (a-z).

def identiSubstring(S):

    n = len(S)

    inst = ""

    count= 0

    for Len in range(1,n+1):

         for i in range(n-Len+1):

              for k in range(i,i + Len):

                   inst =inst+S[k]

              if(len(set(inst)) == 1):

                   count = count + 1

              inst = ""

    return count

S = input("Enter a string: ")

if(len(S)>=1 and len(S)<=100):

    print("There are "+str(identiSubstring(S.lower()))+" possible occurrences")

else:

   print("Length is invalid")

Explanation:

This line defines the required function

def identiSubstring(S):

This calculates the length of string S

    n = len(S)

This initializes an instance of the required string to an empty string

    inst = ""

This initializes count to 0

    count= 0

This following iterations iterate through the length of the string

    for Len in range(1,n+1):

         for i in range(n-Len+1):

              for k in range(i,i + Len):

This gets an instance of string S

                   inst =inst+S[k]

This checks if the characters of the instance are identical

              if(len(set(inst)) == 1):

If yes, the counter is incremented by 1

                   count = count + 1

This instance is reset back to an empty string

              inst = ""

This returns the number of instances of the substring

    return count

The main begins here

This prompt user for a string

S = input("Enter a string: ")

This checks for valid length

if(len(S)>=1 and len(S)<=100):

If length is between 1 and 100 (inclusive), this calls the identiSubstring function

    print("There are "+str(identiSubstring(S.lower()))+" possible occurrences")

If otherwise

else:

This prints invalid length

   print("Length is invalid")

browsing like internet search? don't look at anything stupid. or set up restrictions on ur device's search engine. and if something suspicious comes up don't be dumb and click on it. i hope that's what ur question meant.

the right answer is false
