IceCreamSandwich is a versatile Swift library designed to identify Ice Cream Sandwich patterns within strings, collections, and integers. Originally created for the first task in Chapter 1 of the aCode C++ Practice Tasks.

IceCreamSandwich seamlessly handles collections and integers through extensions that conform to the Hashable and BinaryInteger protocols.

An Ice Cream Sandwich is a pattern with matching and distinct left and right ends, enveloping a unique middle portion.

• "AABBBAA"
• [1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 1]
• 505

1. Distinct Ends: Left and right ends must match in both length and repeated characters.
2. Unique Middle: The middle portion is distinct from the ends.
3. Minimum Length: Must be at least 3 characters.

To use the IceCreamSandwich library, include it in your project and utilize the isIceCreamSandwich property on instances.

import IceCreamSandwich

// String
let smileySandwich = "😊😊🍦😊😊"
if smileySandwich.isIceCreamSandwich {
    print("Yay! You've created an Ice Cream Sandwich!")
} else {
    print("Oops! Your arrangement doesn't form an Ice Cream Sandwich.")
}

// Collection
let numberSandwich = [1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 1]
if numberSandwich.isIceCreamSandwich {
    print("Congratulations! You've assembled a numeric Ice Cream Sandwich!")
} else {
    print("Oops! Your arrangement doesn't form a numeric Ice Cream Sandwich.")
}

// Integer
let integerSandwich = 505
if integerSandwich.isIceCreamSandwich {
    print("Awesome! You've crafted a numeric Ice Cream Sandwich!")
} else {
    print("Oops! Your numeric arrangement doesn't form an Ice Cream Sandwich.")
}
