271. Encode and Decode Strings

Design an algorithm to encode a list of strings to a string. The encoded string is then sent over the network and is decoded back to the original list of strings.

Implement the Encode and Decode methods.

Constraints

• 1 <= strs.length <= 200
• 0 <= strs[i].length <= 200
• strs[i] contains any possible characters out of 256 valid ASCII characters.

Follow up: Could you write a generalized algorithm to work on any possible set of characters?
