Question

Write the code in python to define the function has_adjacent_repeats(mystr), which takes a string parameter and returns a boolean result.

  - If mystr has at least one instance of adjacent characters being equal, return True

  - Otherwise, return False

Hint: You can iterate over the positive indices i for characters in mystr: 1, 2, 3, ...., len(mystr)-1 with a for loop. For each i, if the character at index i matches the character at index i - 1, return True. Otherwise, if no doubled character is found in the entire string, return False.

For example:

Test Result
if not (has_adjacent_repeats("NOODLES") is True): print("error")  
if not (has_adjacent_repeats("Bananas") is False): print("shwoopsie")  
if not (has_adjacent_repeats("Hanoverr") is True): print("error")
