if(str[i]!=str[i+1]){
cout<<str[i]<<count[str[i]];
}
}
return 0;
}
int main() {
string s;
cin>>s;

getmax(str);
return 0;

Hi @aditi2512201012019

Your code is failing for inputs like: aaabbcca
Your output : a3b2c2a4
Correct Answer : a3b2c2a1
So make count[str[i]] = 0 when you enter if condition in loop after printing the letter and it’s frequency.

Corrected Code : https://ide.codingblocks.com/s/198595

Hope it Helps.
