scanf("%s",a); l=strlen(a); for(i=l-1;i>=0;i-=2) { while((a[i]--)-'0') printf("%c",a[i-1]); } This works fine when the count of characters is a <10 .Also no extra space used.If you find any mistake, please do correct me! On Sun, Mar 25, 2012 at 10:18 AM, SAM

In this question is it mandatory to use array here .Because the output and the space were the string is stored is required .. I was thinking of using LL approach .. Need four pointers to keep track of the positions . begin -> store the beginning of the LL initially containing the pointer to he 1

@ashish: i guess you are thinking too much , question say you have character 'a' to 'z' and some value after which will tell ,how many times you shuld print it. if we take 15 as 1 then this would require other means of encoding to interpret it correctly. On Sat, Mar 24, 2012 at 1:19 AM, As

Atul a10 looks good however, when there are multiple such cases within the same string, it is is a problem because i would not know if the char is the real character of the string or part ofthe length eg a10115 is a valid string and can be interpreted as a01 or a 10115 times. RLE is the fi
