HackerEarth Substrings problem solution

In this HackerEarth Substrings problem solution You have a string S, but you like only special strings. So, you have to calculate the total number of special substrings in S.

A string T, of length L, is called special string, if either of the following property holds:

All characters of the string T are same. for example, aaa
The string has an odd length (i.e, L is odd) and all characters of T are same except the middle character, for example, aabaa.

Count the total number of special substrings in S.
