+"""
+Check if a string has unique chars
+    
+    How it works:
+        - The total number of characters that a string can be built of is 128 chars,
+          so if a string is longer than 128 chars, then it must have repeated chars.
+        - if it's 128 or less, then check using two nested for loops.

+    for i in range(lenS-1):
+        for j in range(i+1,lenS):
+            if s[j]==s[i]:
