C++ String Exercises: Check two consecutive, identical letters in a word

C++ String: Exercise-36 with Solution

Write a C++ program to check whether there are two consecutive (following each other continuously), identical letters in a given string.

Test Data:
("Exercises") -> 0
("Yellow") -> 1

Sample Solution:

C++ Code:

#include <bits/stdc++.h>


using namespace std;

bool test(std::string word) {
  for(int i = 0; i < word.size()-1; i++){
    if(word[i] == word[i+1]){
      return true;
    }
  }
  return false;
}
int main()
{
	string text = "Exercises";
	cout << "Word: " << text;
	cout << "\nIf there are two consecutive identical letters in the said string?\n";
	cout << test(text) << endl;	 
	text = "Yellow";
	cout << "\nWord: " << text;
	cout << "\nIf there are two consecutive identical letters in the said string?\n";
	cout << test(text) << endl;	
}

Sample Output:

Word: Exercises
If there are two consecutive identical letters in the said string?
0

Word: Yellow
If there are two consecutive identical letters in the said string?
1
