Description

Using itertools library to group repeated letters in the string and encode them with the help of function that returns a generator by using key word yield. This task is so called also as basic compressing task.

Algorithm:

• Finding all repeated letters and calculating them.
• Returning encoded string with number + letter.
• No number for letters that are met only once.

Example:

• input string: aaaBBBBBaCCCCcFfff
• Encoded string: 3a5Ba4CcF3f
