Question

I need help getting this program to run.

public class RunLengthEncoding 
{
   public static String encode (String input)
   {
       //This is to check for any empty srting
       if(input == null || input.length() == 0)
           
       return "";
       
   //This is to show the rresults
   
   StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
       
   //Variables to store the count of current character and the previous character
    int count = 1;
    
    char prev = input.charAt(0);
       

  //The for loop 
  
 for
         
  (int i = 1; i < input.length(); i++)
     
  {
      char curr = input.charAt(i);
      
  //An if else statement in case the current any if all characters that get repeated 
           if(curr == prev)
           {
               count++;
               
  
           }
           
           else 
           {
               //Encode the string if it's length is greater than 4
               if(count > 4) 
               {
                   result.append("/");
                   result.append(Integer.toString(count));
                   result.append(prev);
               //Else do not encode and just append to result
               } 
               
               else
               
               {
                   for(int j = 0; j < count; j++)
                       result.append(prev);
               }
               //This is to reset the counter
               count = 1;
           }
           // set the most previous character to the mostcurrent character
          prev = curr;
    }
       

   if(count > 4) 
       
  {
      //To put a /
           result.append("/");

       }
       
       return result.toString();
