The request

“Create a run-length encoding flowchart: initialize i and an empty result, read the current character, count matching consecutive characters, append the count and character, advance i, and return the result when the string ends.”

Then tryAdd an example input of AAABB.Change the result step to write to a file.
What is in this drawing

Read the decisions behind it.

01

Choose index-based counting vs. pointer-based

02Decide output format

count+char

03

Handle empty input gracefully

When implementing basic lossless compression for text or binary data with repeated runs, such as in educational exercises or file compression introductions.
