字符串压缩

字符串压缩。利用字符重复出现的次数，编写一种方法，实现基本的字符串压缩功能。比如，字符串aabcccccaaa会变为a2b1c5a3。若“压缩”后的字符串没有变短，则返回原先的字符串

public String compressString(String str) {
        if (str.length() == 0) {
            return str;
        }
        StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
        int count = 1;
        char ch = str.charAt(0);
        for (int i = 1; i < str.length(); i++) {
            if (ch == str.charAt(i)) {
                count++;
            } else {
                sb.append(ch).append(count);
                ch = str.charAt(i);
                count = 1;
            }
        }
        sb.append(ch).append(count);
        return sb.length() >= str.length() ? str : sb.toString();
    }
