[Solved] Finding consecutive letters in a list [closed]

by 


def consecutiveLetters(word):
    currentMaxCount = 1
    maxChar=""
    tempCount = 1

    for i in range(0, len(word) - 2):
        if(word[i] == word[i+1]):
            tempCount += 1
            if tempCount > currentMaxCount:
                currentMaxCount = tempCount
                maxChar = word[i]
        else:
            currentMaxCount = 1

    return [maxChar,tempCount]

result = consecutiveLetters("TATAAAAAAATGACA")

print("The max consecutive letter is ", result[0] , " that appears ", result[1], " times.")

This will print: The max consecutive letter is A that appears 7 times.
