Find a substring in a string with no white space.

Question

I have a string without any whitespace. How to find the maximum number of times a substring is repeated consecutively?
For example:-
String "hsjabcabcabchikabcabcng"
Substring "abc"
Output :- 3

(I tried using split function but I could not solve the problem rather made it more complicated)
(Please help me with an idea that will help me start solving this problem the right way)

Answer 1

You could use a while loop.

You define a counter variable as 1, and an index variable i.

Then you find the position of first substring and set i to it.

Then you increase counter by 1 'while' the next three letters (found by increasing i by the length of the substring) is the same as the substring.
