```
public class RunLength
extends Object

Method Summary

All Methods Static Methods Concrete Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`static void`	`compress()`	Reads a sequence of bits from standard input; compresses them using run-length coding with 8-bit run lengths; and writes the results to standard output.
`static void`	`expand()`	Reads a sequence of bits from standard input (that are encoded using run-length encoding with 8-bit run lengths); decodes them; and writes the results to standard output.
`static void`	`main(String[] args)`	Sample client that calls `compress()` if the command-line argument is "-" an `expand()` if it is "+".

- Method Detail
  - expand
```
public static void expand()
```
    Reads a sequence of bits from standard input (that are encoded using run-length encoding with 8-bit run lengths); decodes them; and writes the results to standard output.
  - compress
```
public static void compress()
```
    Reads a sequence of bits from standard input; compresses them using run-length coding with 8-bit run lengths; and writes the results to standard output.
  - main
```
public static void main(String[] args)
```
    Sample client that calls compress() if the command-line argument is "-" an expand() if it is "+".
    
    Parameters:
    
    args - the command-line arguments
