Finding Patterns Has Never Been Easy — Until Now!

Finding Patterns In A String — Java

An Easy Way To Know How Much A Pattern Has Been Repeating!

Have you experienced typing out a String and wondering how you could compress it into even smaller chunks using a compression algorithm that uses a Binary Search Tree or anything else that requires you to find patterns? Or maybe you just got bored and wondered:

How Many Times Have I Been Repeating Myself Lately?
— Probably You Just 2 mins. Ago Contacting Somebody…

Well then, I’ve got a utility just for you! (~And probably somebody else too!)

• You can find it → OVER HERE! ← along with my other utilities!
• The use of it is incredibly simple, let’s try it out with a simple program!

Code Used As A Simple Program!

• This prints out every single 1 character long pattern in the String:

[D, 1], [o, 9], [ , 18], [Y, 1], [u, 2], [K, 1], [n, 3], [w, 1],
[T, 4], [h, 4], [a, 8],  [t, 6], [I, 1], [H, 1], [v, 3], [e, 11],
[A, 1], [G, 1], [i, 4],  [b, 1], [R, 1], [p, 1], [s, 4], [r, 6],
[y, 1], [C, 3], [l, 4],  [d, 2], [J, 1], [-, 1], [S, 1], [m, 3],
[U, 1], [?, 1], [P, 1],  [F, 2], [O, 1], [!, 1]

But What About Filtering Everything That Only Happens Once?
— Probably You Again, I Guess.

• That’s why we have the #removeOnes() function!

Code Used As A Simple Program!

• This prints out every single 1 character long pattern that occurs more than once in the String:

[o, 9], [ , 18], [u, 2], [n, 3], [T, 4], [h, 4], [a, 8], [t, 6],
[v, 3], [e, 11], [i, 4], [s, 4], [r, 6], [C, 3], [l, 4], [d, 2],
[m, 3], [F, 2]

But What Abou~
— Probably You Stopped By Me This Time Around.

• Woah, hold your horses buddy, you can get any pattern with any length!
• All you have to do is tell it the length of the pattern that you need to see:
