551. Student Attendance Record I-学生出勤记录 I

You are given a string representing an attendance record for a student. The record only contains the following three characters:
‘A‘ : Absent.
‘L‘ : Late.
‘P‘ : Present.
A student could be rewarded if his attendance record doesn’t contain more than one ‘A’ (absent) or more than two continuous ‘L’ (late).

You need to return whether the student could be rewarded according to his attendance record.

Example 1:
Input: "PPALLP"
Output: True

Example 2:
Input: "PPALLL"
Output: False

Solution in python:

class Solution:
    def checkRecord(self, s: str) -> bool:
        i = 0
        countA = 0
        countL = 0
        flag = False
        while i < len(s):
            while i < len(s) and s[i] == 'L':
                countL += 1
                if countL > 2:
                    flag = True
                i += 1
            countL = 0
            if i < len(s) and s[i] == 'A':
                countA += 1
            i += 1
        if countA > 1 or flag:
            return False
        else: return True
