Decompress Run-Length Encoded List Lab
In this lab, you will be implementing a function to decompress a Run-Length Encoded list of integers. Run-Length Encoding is a simple form of compression in which runs of data (consecutive occurrences of the same data value) are stored as a single data value and a count. You will be given a list nums
of integers representing a list compressed with run-length encoding.
Your task is to consider each adjacent pair of elements [freq, val] = [nums[2*i], nums[2*i+1]]
(with i >= 0
). For each such pair, there are freq
elements with value val
concatenated in a sublist. You have to concatenate all the sublists from left to right to generate the decompressed list and return it.
Example
Example 1:
Input: nums = [1,2,3,4]
Output: [2,4,4,4]
Explanation: The first pair [1,2] means we have freq = 1 and val = 2 so we generate the array [2].
The second pair [3,4] means we have freq = 3 and val = 4 so we generate [4,4,4].
At the end the concatenation [2] + [4,4,4] is [2,4,4,4].
Example 2:
Input: nums = [1,1,2,3]
Output: [1,3,3]
Challenges
- Export your function decompressRLElist() from 'index.js'.
- Write test cases for your function.
Constraints:
2 <= nums.length <= 100
nums.length % 2 == 0
1 <= nums[i] <= 100
