Solution for hackerRank problem Compress the string in python Problem : In this task, we would like for you to appreciate the usefulness of the  groupby()  function of  itertools  .  You are given a string S. Suppose a character 'c' occurs consecutively X times in the string. Replace these consecutive occurrences of the character 'c' with (X,c) in the string. For a better understanding of the problem, check the explanation. Input Format A single line of input consisting of the string S. Output Format A single line of output consisting of the modified string. Constraints All the characters of S denote integers between 0 and 9. 1 <= |S| <=  10 4 . Sample Input 1222311 Sample Output (1, 1) (3, 2) (1, 3) (2, 1) Explanation First, the character 1 occurs only once. It is replaced by (1, 1). Then the character 2 occurs three times, and it is replaced by (3, 2) and so on. Also, note the single space within each compression and between the compressions.
