You are a robot.
As a robot, you are programmed to take walks following a path.
The path is input to you as a string of the following characters where:
"^"-> step up"v"-> step down">"-> step right"<"-> step left
For example, a valid path would look like:
"^^vv>><<^v>"
However, you are a robot that cannot understand this string of characters just by looking at it. You need detailed instructions on how to follow the path.
Your objective is to write a program to translate the input path to a set of detailed and readable instructions that even a robot like you could understand.
To do this, you must translate the previous example
"^^vvvv>><<^v>"
to a "line feed separated string" equivalent to:
Take 2 steps up
Take 4 steps down
Take 2 steps right
Take 2 steps left
Take 1 step up
Take 1 step down
Take 1 step right
Notice that groups of the same characters translate to one instruction only, telling you to take multiple steps.
Notes:
-
The input path will NEVER contain invalid characters, only the four characters for the directions.
-
The instruction lines are separated only by a newline (
"\n") character. This character is not present at the beginning of the first instruction line nor at the end of the last instruction line. -
An empty path with no characters should output a
"Paused"string meaning that you, the robot, are not supposed to move anywhere and are in a paused state.
