[Easy] String Compression
(programming.dev)
Welcome to the programming.dev challenge community!
Three challenges will be posted every week to complete
Easy challenges will give 1 point, medium will give 2, and hard will give 3. If you have the fastest time or use the least amount of characters you will get a bonus point (in ties everyone gets the bonus point)
Exact duplicate solutions are not allowed and will not give you any points. Submissions on a challenge will be open for a week.
A leaderboard will be posted every month showing the top people for that month
Ruby, just because I wanted a bit more practice. Again, I went to lowering character count, so it is ugly. I'm just using a anchor-runner pointer strategy to do the work. I tried to think of a regex to do the work for me, but couldn't think of one that would work.
