## Compress String Solution
|
|
|
|
1. Write a function that gets a string and compresses it
|
|
- 'aaaabbccc' -> 'a4b2c3'
|
|
- 'abbbc' -> 'a1b3c1'
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
def compress_str(mystr: str) -> str:
|
|
|
|
result = ''
|
|
|
|
if mystr:
|
|
prevchar = mystr[0]
|
|
else:
|
|
return result
|
|
|
|
count = 1
|
|
for nextchar in mystr[1:]:
|
|
if nextchar == prevchar:
|
|
count += 1
|
|
else:
|
|
result += prevchar + str(count)
|
|
count = 1
|
|
prevchar = nextchar
|
|
|
|
result += prevchar + str(count)
|
|
return result
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Write a function that decompresses a given string
|
|
- 'a4b2c3' -> 'aaaabbccc'
|
|
- 'a1b3c1' -> 'abbbc'
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
def decompress_str(mystr: str) -> str:
|
|
result = ''
|
|
for index in range(0, len(mystr), 2):
|
|
result += mystr[index] * int(mystr[index + 1])
|
|
return result
|
|
```
