Question

My problem is to find the repeating sequence of characters in the given array. simply, to identify the pattern in which the characters are appearing.

Answer 1

Just figured this out myself and wrote some code for this (written in C#) with a lot of comments. Hope this helps someone:

// Check whether the string contains a repeating sequence.
public static bool ContainsRepeatingSequence(string str)
{
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(str)) return false;

    for (int i=0; i

Feel free to ask any questions if it's unclear why it works.
