Java > Recursion-1 > countPairs
prev  |  next  |  chance

We'll say that a "pair" in a string is two instances of a char separated by a char. So "AxA" the A's make a pair. Pair's can overlap, so "AxAxA" contains 3 pairs -- 2 for A and 1 for x. Recursively compute the number of pairs in the given string.

countPairs("axa") → 1
countPairs("axax") → 2
countPairs("axbx") → 1

...Save, Compile, Run
