Encode and decode Strings

- mistake made: I thought length is a single digit again which is stupid. We have to use "/" after length to tell us how many digits the length is.
public class Codec {
// Encodes a list of strings to a single string.
public String encode(List<String> strs) {
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for (String str : strs){
sb.append(str.length()).append("/").append(str);
}
return sb.toString();
}
// Decodes a single string to a list of strings.
public List<String> decode(String s) {
ArrayList<String> res = new ArrayList<>();
if(s.length() == 0){
return res;
}
int p = 0;
while (p < s.length()){
int end = s.indexOf('/', p);
int len = Integer.parseInt(s.substring(p, end));
p = end + 1;
res.add(s.substring(p, p+len));
p = p+len;
}
return res;
}
}
// Your Codec object will be instantiated and called as such:
// Codec codec = new Codec();
// codec.decode(codec.encode(strs));
