Description
You are given a string s representing an attendance record for a student where each character signifies whether the student was absent, late, or present on that day. The record only contains the following three characters:
- 'A': Absent.
- 'L': Late.
- 'P': Present.
The student is eligible for an attendance award if they meet both of the following criteria:
- The student was absent ('A') for strictly fewer than 2 days total.
- The student was never late ('L') for 3 or more consecutive days.
Return true if the student is eligible for an attendance award, or false otherwise.
Example 1:
Input: s = "PPALLP"
Output: true
Explanation: The student has fewer than 2 absences and was never late 3 or more consecutive days.
Example 2:
Input: s = "PPALLL"
Output: false
Explanation: The student was late 3 consecutive days in the last 3 days, so is not eligible for the award.
