Solution

class Codec {
public:



    // Encodes a list of strings to a single string.
    string encode(vector<string>& strs) {
        string res;
        for (auto str : strs)
        {
            res += to_string(str.size());
            res += "/";
            res += str;
        }
        return res;
    }



    // Decodes a single string to a list of strings.
    vector<string> decode(string s) {
        int i = 0;



        vector<string> res;
        while (i < s.size())
        {
            int j = s.find_first_of("/", i);
            if (j == string::npos)
                break;
            string len = s.substr(i, j - i);
            int ilen = atoi(len.c_str());
            res.push_back(s.substr(j + 1, ilen));
            i = j + 1 + ilen;
        }
        return res;
    }
};



// Your Codec object will be instantiated and called as such:
// Codec codec;
// codec.decode(codec.encode(strs));
