[Java][Exerise] Java > String-3 > maxBlock answer

Question Given a string, return the length of the largest "block" in the string. A block is a run of adjacent chars that are the same. maxBlock("hoopla") → 2 maxBlock("abbCCCddBBBxx") → 3 maxBlock("") → 0

Answer

        int len = str.length();
        int count = 0;
        int tempCount = 1;
       
        if(len==0) return 0;
        for(int i=0; i<len;i++){
            if(i+1<len && (str.charAt(i)==str.charAt(i+1))){
                tempCount++;
            }else{
                tempCount=1;
            }
            count = Math.max(count, tempCount);
        }
        return count;
