Consecutive Run Length Encoding

Implement a program that takes an integer array and compresses it using run-length encoding. The input will be given in the following format: - The first line will contain n (1 <= n <= 1000). - The second line will contain n integers, which are the elements of the array. Each element can be at most 1000. Output a single line with the run-length encoded format: 'element:count' pairs, separated by spaces. Example: Input: 5 1 1 2 2 2 Output: 1:2 2:3
