a3b2c4

void compressString(char *str)
{
    int count, len=strlen(str),i=0;
    while(i<len)
    {
        int j=i+1;
        count=1;
        while(j<len)
        {
            if(str[i]==str[j]){
                count++;
            }
            else{
                break;
            }
            j+=1;
        }
        printf("%c%d", str[i], count);
        i+=count;
    }
