+<h2><a href="https://leetcode.com/problems/string-compression/">443. String Compression</a></h2><h3>Medium</h3><hr><div><p>Given an array of characters <code>chars</code>, compress it using the following algorithm:</p>
+
+<p>Begin with an empty string <code>s</code>. For each group of <strong>consecutive repeating characters</strong> in <code>chars</code>:</p>
+
+<ul>
+	<li>If the group's length is <code>1</code>, append the character to <code>s</code>.</li>
+	<li>Otherwise, append the character followed by the group's length.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>The compressed string <code>s</code> <strong>should not be returned separately</strong>, but instead, be stored <strong>in the input character array <code>chars</code></strong>. Note that group lengths that are <code>10</code> or longer will be split into multiple characters in <code>chars</code>.</p>
+
+<p>After you are done <strong>modifying the input array,</strong> return <em>the new length of the array</em>.</p>
+
+<p>You must write an algorithm that uses only constant extra space.</p>
+
+<p>&nbsp;</p>
+<p><strong>Example 1:</strong></p>
+
+<pre><strong>Input:</strong> chars = ["a","a","b","b","c","c","c"]
+<strong>Output:</strong> Return 6, and the first 6 characters of the input array should be: ["a","2","b","2","c","3"]
+<strong>Explanation:</strong> The groups are "aa", "bb", and "ccc". This compresses to "a2b2c3".
+</pre>
+
+<p><strong>Example 2:</strong></p>
+
+<pre><strong>Input:</strong> chars = ["a"]
+<strong>Output:</strong> Return 1, and the first character of the input array should be: ["a"]
+<strong>Explanation:</strong> The only group is "a", which remains uncompressed since it's a single character.
+</pre>
+
+<p><strong>Example 3:</strong></p>
+
+<pre><strong>Input:</strong> chars = ["a","b","b","b","b","b","b","b","b","b","b","b","b"]
+<strong>Output:</strong> Return 4, and the first 4 characters of the input array should be: ["a","b","1","2"].
+<strong>Explanation:</strong> The groups are "a" and "bbbbbbbbbbbb". This compresses to "ab12".</pre>
+
+<p>&nbsp;</p>
+<p><strong>Constraints:</strong></p>
+
+<ul>
+	<li><code>1 &lt;= chars.length &lt;= 2000</code></li>
+	<li><code>chars[i]</code> is a lowercase English letter, uppercase English letter, digit, or symbol.</li>
+</ul>
