Answer 2

Iterate over the list of values. At each iteration compare the ith value with (i+1)th value.. If, they are not equal, then increment count by 1. Finally, print the count value.

Answer 3

counter=0;
for(int i=0;i<n-1;i++){//n= number of dominoes

if(arr[i]%10!=arr[i+1]%10){

counter++;//number of groups
}
}
