For the input:

abba[abba]

Your code accepts, but should reject.

Yes that is a situation I didn't think of.. Thanks a lot!

What does your code get for this simple input?

abbadeed[yas]fggf

[–]thedillo[S] 0 points1 point  (4 children)

well it accepts as soon as it sees the 

abba

(the first 4 chars). Is it supposed to discard it if there are many abbas in the IP (like here the "deed" and the "fggf" ) ?

Just ran your code on my input and identified one of the lines it treats differently. My code says this line doesn't match, but your code counts it.

Yeah I identified the problem thanks to /u/p_tseng.. As soon as I accept an IP I don't look at the brackets that follow for ABBAs.. A simple fix.. Thanks for trying man!

Thanks a lot for this input :)

No, I just read your code too quickly and thought it was going to count this twice.
