Is there any kind of rule behind this manipulation? Otherwise, try a simple string replacement: if input = "aaabbcccaa", return "a3b2c3a2" — Nico Haase, Jul 03 '18 at 07:24

Here is a tip to get you started:

1) Find the length of the string

2) Iterate over the string

3) Use a dictionary to record the count of the letters

4) Iterate over the dictionary to print the result

Hope that helps :)
