So tried that way but still getting out of index although I that that I'm making sure not to get out of index. s = 'aabskaaabadcccch' c = 0 t = list(set(s)) # list of characters in s li=[0,0,0,0,0,0] # list for counted repeats print(t) for x in t: h = t.index(x) for index, i in enumerate(s): maximus = len(s) if i == x: c += 1 if index < maximus: if s[index +1] != x: # if next element is not x if c > li[h]: #update c if bigger than existing li[h] = c c = 0 else: if c > li[h]: li[h] = c for i in t: n = t.index(i) print(i,li[n]) print(f'{s[li.index(max(li))]} appears {max(li)} consecutive times') -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
