<p>Given a string <code>word</code>, compress it using the following algorithm:</p>

<ul>
	<li>Begin with an empty string <code>comp</code>. While <code>word</code> is <strong>not</strong> empty, use the following operation:

	<ul>
		<li>Remove a maximum length prefix of <code>word</code> made of a <em>single character</em> <code>c</code> repeating <strong>at most</strong> 9 times.</li>
		<li>Append the length of the prefix followed by <code>c</code> to <code>comp</code>.</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
</ul>

<p>Return the string <code>comp</code>.</p>

<p><strong class="example">Example 1:</strong></p>

<div class="example-block">
<p><strong>Input:</strong> <span class="example-io">word = &quot;abcde&quot;</span></p>

<p><strong>Output:</strong> <span class="example-io">&quot;1a1b1c1d1e&quot;</span></p>

<p><strong>Explanation:</strong></p>

<p>Initially, <code>comp = &quot;&quot;</code>. Apply the operation 5 times, choosing <code>&quot;a&quot;</code>, <code>&quot;b&quot;</code>, <code>&quot;c&quot;</code>, <code>&quot;d&quot;</code>, and <code>&quot;e&quot;</code> as the prefix in each operation.</p>

<p>For each prefix, append <code>&quot;1&quot;</code> followed by the character to <code>comp</code>.</p>
</div>

<p><strong class="example">Example 2:</strong></p>

<div class="example-block">
<p><strong>Input:</strong> <span class="example-io">word = &quot;aaaaaaaaaaaaaabb&quot;</span></p>

<p><strong>Output:</strong> <span class="example-io">&quot;9a5a2b&quot;</span></p>

<p><strong>Explanation:</strong></p>

<p>Initially, <code>comp = &quot;&quot;</code>. Apply the operation 3 times, choosing <code>&quot;aaaaaaaaa&quot;</code>, <code>&quot;aaaaa&quot;</code>, and <code>&quot;bb&quot;</code> as the prefix in each operation.</p>

<ul>
	<li>For prefix <code>&quot;aaaaaaaaa&quot;</code>, append <code>&quot;9&quot;</code> followed by <code>&quot;a&quot;</code> to <code>comp</code>.</li>
	<li>For prefix <code>&quot;aaaaa&quot;</code>, append <code>&quot;5&quot;</code> followed by <code>&quot;a&quot;</code> to <code>comp</code>.</li>
	<li>For prefix <code>&quot;bb&quot;</code>, append <code>&quot;2&quot;</code> followed by <code>&quot;b&quot;</code> to <code>comp</code>.</li>
</ul>
</div>

<p><strong>Constraints:</strong></p>

<ul>
	<li><code>1 &lt;= word.length &lt;= 2 * 10<sup>5</sup></code></li>
	<li><code>word</code> consists only of lowercase English letters.</li>
</ul>
