230.Positions of Large Groups

Description

In a string S of lowercase letters, these letters form consecutive groups of the same character.

For example, a string like S = "abbxxxxzyy" has the groups "a", "bb", "xxxx", "z" and "yy".

Call a group large if it has 3 or more characters. We would like the starting and ending positions of every large group.

The final answer should be in lexicographic order.

Example1

Input: "abbxxxxzzy"
Output: [[3,6]]
Explanation: "xxxx" is the single large group with starting  3 and ending positions 6.

Example2

Input: "abc"
Output: []
Explanation: We have "a","b" and "c" but no large group.

Example3

Input: 'abcdddeeeeaabbbcd'
Output: [[3, 5], [6, 9], [12, 14]]
