# same_star_char





Returns true if for every '*' (star) in the string, if there are chars both immediately before and after the star, they are the same.

```
same_star_char("xy*yzz") -> true
same_star_char("xy*zzz") -> false
same_star_char("*xa*az") -> true
```

This exercise was taken from [codingbat.com](https://codingbat.com/prob/p194491) and has been adapted for the Python language. There are many great programming exercises there, but the majority are created for Java.

## Starter Code
```python
def same_star_char(string: str) -> bool:
    pass


result = same_star_char('xy*yzz')
print(result)
```

## Tests
```python
from main import same_star_char


def test_same_star_char_1():
    assert same_star_char('xy*yzz') == True


def test_same_star_char_2():
    assert same_star_char('xy*zzz') == False


def test_same_star_char_3():
    assert same_star_char('*xa*az') == True


def test_same_star_char_4():
    assert same_star_char('*xa*bz') == False


def test_same_star_char_5():
    assert same_star_char('*xa*a*') == True


def test_same_star_char_6():
    assert same_star_char('') == True


def test_same_star_char_7():
    assert same_star_char('*xa*a*a') == True


def test_same_star_char_8():
    assert same_star_char('*xa*a*b') == False


def test_same_star_char_9():
    assert same_star_char('*12*2*2') == True


def test_same_star_char_10():
    assert same_star_char('12*2*3*') == False


def test_same_star_char_11():
    assert same_star_char('abcDEF') == True


def test_same_star_char_12():
    assert same_star_char('XY*YYYY*Z*') == False


def test_same_star_char_13():
    assert same_star_char('XY*YYYY*Y*') == True


def test_same_star_char_14():
    assert same_star_char('12*2*3*') == False


def test_same_star_char_15():
    assert same_star_char('*') == True


def test_same_star_char_16():
    assert same_star_char('**') == True
