Your question:

Q-2 [30 pts] You need to write a function consecutive(refstring) that takes a string refstring as a parameter and returns the number of disjoint substrings with consecutive characters. A substring with 2 or more consecutive characters will be counted once. For example: consecutive('settle') will return 1 consecutive('printing') will return 0 consecutive('Yessss. Really ? Reaaaaalllly?') will return return 4

    for i in range(1, len(refstring)):

        current_char = refstring[i]

        else:

            # Check if the current substring has two or more consecutive characters

    if current_count >= 2:

        count += 1

print(consecutive('Yessss. Really ? Reaaaaalllly?'))  # Output: 4
