Better Compression 🦀
Atlassian● EasyINTERNOAProblem statement
Consider a string, S, that is a series of characters, each followed by its frequency as an integer. The string is not compressed correctly, so there may be multiple occurrences of the same character. A properly compressed string will consist of one instance of each character in alphabetical order followed by the total count of that character within the string.
Example
The string 'a3c9b2c1' has two instances where 'c' is followed by a count: once with 9 occurrences, and again with 1. It should be compressed to 'a3b2c10'.
Function
betterCompression(S: String) → String
Complete the function betterCompression in the editor below.
betterCompression has the following parameter:
S: string: a compressed string
Returns
string: the properly compressed string
Examples
Example 1
S = "a3c9b2c1"return = "a3b2c10"
The string 'a3c9b2c1' has two instances where 'c' is followed by a count: once with 9 occurrences, and again with 1. It should be compressed to 'a3b2c10'.
Constraints
1 ≤ size of S ≤ 100000'a' ≤ characters in S ≤ 'z'1 ≤ frequency of each character in S ≤ 1000
