Check if a string has 2 characters next to each other - Python [duplicate]

Question

Say we have a string

"SS in a dark room"
True

I want to check if this string contains 2 or more 'S' characters next to each other, so here it would be True but in this string it would be False:

"ss in a dark room"
False

Here it would be False:

"S in a dark room" 
False

and here it would be True

"SSS in me"
True

It looks like you want us to write some code for you. While many users are willing to produce code for a coder in distress, they usually only help when the poster has already tried to solve the problem on their own. — vaultah

Can't you just do:

the_string = "SS in a dark room"
print("SS" in the_string)
## Returns True
