Given a string, compress substrings of repeated characters in to a format similar to aaa -> a3
For example for the string aaabbhhhh33aaa the expected output would be a3b2h432a3
You must accept the input as a command line argument (entered when your app is ran) and print out the result
(It will be called like node main.js aaaaa or however else to run apps in your language)
You can use the solution tester in this post to test you followed the correct format https://programming.dev/post/1805174
Any programming language may be used. 1 point will be given if you pass all the test cases with 1 bonus point going to whoevers performs the quickest and 1 for whoever can get the least amount of characters
To submit put the code and the language you used below
