Encode And Decode TinyURL Problem
Description
LeetCode Problem 535.
TinyURL is a URL shortening service where you enter a URL such as https://leetcode.com/problems/design-tinyurl and it returns a short URL such as http://tinyurl.com/4e9iAk. Design a class to encode a URL and decode a tiny URL.
There is no restriction on how your encode/decode algorithm should work. You just need to ensure that a URL can be encoded to a tiny URL and the tiny URL can be decoded to the original URL.
Implement the Solution class:
- Solution() Initializes the object of the system.
- String encode(String longUrl) Returns a tiny URL for the given longUrl.
- String decode(String shortUrl) Returns the original long URL for the given shortUrl. It is guaranteed that the given shortUrl was encoded by the same object.

Input: url = "https://leetcode.com/problems/design-tinyurl"
Output: "https://leetcode.com/problems/design-tinyurl"
Explanation:
Solution obj = new Solution();
string tiny = obj.encode(url); // returns the encoded tiny url.
string ans = obj.decode(tiny); // returns the original url after deconding it.
Constraints:
- 1 <= url.length <= 10^4
- url is guranteed to be a valid URL.

// Your Solution object will be instantiated and called as such:
