This PR adds the implementation of Run Length Encoding and Decoding as part of the string compression algorithms.
Features:
encode() function: Compresses a string by converting consecutive repeated characters into a single character followed by the count.
decode() function: Expands the encoded string back to its original form.
File path:
strings/run_length_encoding.cpp
Example:
Input: "aaabbcdddd"
Encoded: "a3b2c1d4"
Decoded: "aaabbcdddd"
This implementation is simple, clear, and includes a main() function to demonstrate the functionality.
