830\. Positions of Large Groups
Easy
In a string `s` of lowercase letters, these letters form consecutive groups of the same character.
For example, a string like `s = "abbxxxxzyy"` has the groups `"a"`, `"bb"`, `"xxxx"`, `"z"`, and `"yy"`.
A group is identified by an interval `[start, end]`, where `start` and `end` denote the start and end indices (inclusive) of the group. In the above example, `"xxxx"` has the interval `[3,6]`.
A group is considered **large** if it has 3 or more characters.
Return _the intervals of every **large** group sorted in **increasing order by start index**_.
**Example 1:**
**Input:** s = "abbxxxxzzy"
**Output:** [[3,6]]
**Explanation:** `"xxxx" is the only` large group with start index 3 and end index 6.
**Example 2:**
**Input:** s = "abc"
**Output:** []
**Explanation:** We have groups "a", "b", and "c", none of which are large groups.
**Example 3:**
**Input:** s = "abcdddeeeeaabbbcd"
**Output:** [[3,5],[6,9],[12,14]]
**Explanation:** The large groups are "ddd", "eeee", and "bbb".
**Constraints:**
* `1 <= s.length <= 1000`
* `s` contains lowercase English letters only.
