Daily JavaScript Challenge: Encode a String Using the Run-Length Encoding Algorithm

Hey fellow developers! 👋 Welcome to today's JavaScript coding challenge. Let's keep those programming skills sharp!

The Challenge

Difficulty: Medium

Topic: Data Compression

Description

Implement a function that takes a string as input and returns the run-length encoded version of the string. Run-length encoding is a simple form of data compression where consecutive data elements (characters) are replaced by just one data value and count of that value.
