Python: Find the first repeated character in a given string

Python String: Exercise-53 with Solution

Write a Python program to find the first repeated character in a given string.

Visual Presentation:

Python String: Find the first repeated character in a given string
Python String: Find the first repeated character in a given string

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

# Define a function 'first_repeated_char' that takes a string 'str1' as input.
def first_repeated_char(str1):
    # Iterate through each character 'c' and its index 'index' in the input string 'str1'.
    for index, c in enumerate(str1):
        # Check if the count of character 'c' in the substring of 'str1' up to 'index+1' is greater than 1.
        if str1[:index + 1].count(c) > 1:
            return c  # Return the first repeated character found.

    return "None"  # Return "None" if no repeated character is found.

# Call the 'first_repeated_char' function with different input strings and print the results.
print(first_repeated_char("abcdabcd"))
print(first_repeated_char("abcd")) 

Sample Output:

a
None
