Steps to reproduce:

Ask it to generate a python script to solve this problem:
Compression I: RLE Compression

Run-length encoding (RLE) is a data compression technique which encodes data as a series of runs of a repeated single character. Runs are encoded as a length, followed by the character itself. Lengths are encoded as a single ASCII digit; runs of 10 characters or more are encoded by splitting them into multiple runs.

You are given the following input string:
iiiiJJkQQ111111111MuuCCCCCCCCXX00YggggVNN33zllhhhhhurrrrrrrrrrSSXXGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGnn
Encode it using run-length encoding with the minimum possible output length.

Examples:
aaaaabccc -> 5a1b3c
aAaAaA -> 1a1A1a1A1a1A
111112333 -> 511233
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz -> 9z9z1z (or 9z8z2z, etc.)

If your solution is an empty string, you must leave the text box empty. Do not use "", '', or ``.

Expected result:
Code that solves the problem.

Actual result:
This:
def rle_compress(input_string):
if not input_string:
return ""

compressed = []
count = 1
prev_char = input_string[0]

for char in input_string[1:]:
    if char == prev_char:
        count += 1
        if count == 10:
            compressed.append(f"9{prev_char}")
            count = 1
    else:
        compressed.append(f"{count}{prev_char}")
        prev_char = char
        count = 1

compressed.append(f"{count}{prev_char}")
return ''.join(compressed)

Test with the given input

input_string = "iiiiJJkQQ111111111MuuCCCCCCCCXX00YggggVNN33zllhhhhhurrrrrrrrrrSSXXGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGnn"
compressed_string = rle_compress(input_string)
compressed_string :citation[oaicite:0]{index=0}

The last line where its decided the compressed string should include an openai citation is the problem.
