THE ABCABC KILLER PATTERN
findpattern
I am really tired of this ... A lot of assessment for a f* job required to make a stupid function ....
they ask to have the times of repetition of substrings like "ABCABC" ... and the same function need to report the length of same chars like 'CCCC'... Please, refuse test or assessment like that... not have any sense... especially if you looking for a position as front end... Should be a 'creative' position... what is the purpose of this test??? ... Know if you are crazy?, stupid?... so... it's my solution for you!
This is the most used test...

const findPattern = ( word ) => {
let
replace = word.match( /(.+)(?=.*?\1)/g ),
pattern = new RegExp( replace , "g"),
final = word.match( pattern );
if( final )
return final.length;
else if
return word.length;
};
HOW IT'S WORKS
test it:
console.log( findPattern('abcabc') );
console.log( findPattern('cccc') );
