Given an array of characters, compress it in-place.
The length after compression must always be smaller than or equal to the original array.
Every element of the array should be a character (not int) of length 1.
After you are done modifying the input array in-place, return the new length of the array.

Could you solve it using only O(1) extra space?
Example 1:
Input: [“a”,”a”,”b”,”b”,”c”,”c”,”c”]
Output: Return 6, and the first 6 characters of the input array should be: [“a”,”2”,”b”,”2”,”c”,”3”]
Explanation: “aa” is replaced by “a2”. “bb” is replaced by “b2”. “ccc” is replaced by “c3”.
Example 2:
Input: [“a”]
Output: Return 1, and the first 1 characters of the input array should be: [“a”]
Explanation: Nothing is replaced.
Example 3:
Input: [“a”,”b”,”b”,”b”,”b”,”b”,”b”,”b”,”b”,”b”,”b”,”b”,”b”]
Output: Return 4, and the first 4 characters of the input array should be: [“a”,”b”,”1”,”2”].
Explanation: Since the character “a” does not repeat, it is not compressed. “bbbbbbbbbbbb” is replaced by “b12”. Notice each digit has it’s own entry in the array.
Note:
- All characters have an ASCII value in [35, 126].
- 1 <= len(chars) <= 1000.
这个题的含义很好理解,就是修改给定的字符数组,将相同的字符只存储一个,并且要存储相同字符的个数,且每个数要小于10,如果某个相同字符的个数是12个,就将12分为字符1和字符2存储在两个数组变量中。
因为要修改原数组,所以要定义一个变量记录数组修改的当前下标,每修改一次该下标值+1,并且题目要求最后要返回被修改后的数组中元素的个数。
