The problem

A value-equal string is a string where all characters are the same. For example, "1111" and "33" are value-equal strings.

Example

Input
s = "000111000"
Output
false
Explanation
s cannot be decomposed according to the rules because ["000", "111", "000"] does not have a substring of length 2.

Python solution

class Solution:
    def isDecomposable(self, s: str) -> bool:
        cnt2 = 0
        for _, g in groupby(s):
            m = len(list(g))
            if m % 3 == 1:
                return False
            cnt2 += m % 3 == 2
            if cnt2 > 1:
                return False
        return cnt2 == 1
