+
+## Running the tests
+
+Execute the tests with:
+
+```bash
+$ cargo test
+```
+
+All but the first test have been ignored. After you get the first test to
+pass, open the tests source file which is located in the `tests` directory
+and remove the `#[ignore]` flag from the next test and get the tests to pass
+again. Each separate test is a function with `#[test]` flag above it.
+Continue, until you pass every test.
+
+If you wish to run _only ignored_ tests without editing the tests source file, use:
+
+```bash
+$ cargo test -- --ignored
+```
+
+If you are using Rust 1.51 or later, you can run _all_ tests with
+
+```bash
+$ cargo test -- --include-ignored
+```
+
+To run a specific test, for example `some_test`, you can use:
+
+```bash
+$ cargo test some_test
+```
+
+If the specific test is ignored, use:
+
+```bash
+$ cargo test some_test -- --ignored
+```
+
+To learn more about Rust tests refer to the online [test documentation][rust-tests].

+
+## Submitting your solution
+
+You can submit your solution using the `exercism submit src/lib.rs Cargo.toml` command.
+This command will upload your solution to the Exercism website and print the solution page's URL.
+
+It's possible to submit an incomplete solution which allows you to:
+
+- See how others have completed the exercise
+- Request help from a mentor
+
+## Need to get help?
+
+If you'd like help solving the exercise, check the following pages:
+
+- The [Rust track's documentation](https://exercism.org/docs/tracks/rust)
+- [Exercism's programming category on the forum](https://forum.exercism.org/c/programming/5)
+- The [Frequently Asked Questions](https://exercism.org/docs/using/faqs)
+
+Should those resources not suffice, you could submit your (incomplete) solution to request mentoring.
+
+## Rust Installation
+
+Refer to the [exercism help page][help-page] for Rust installation and learning
+resources.
+
+## Submitting the solution
+
+Generally you should submit all files in which you implemented your solution (`src/lib.rs` in most cases). If you are using any external crates, please consider submitting the `Cargo.toml` file. This will make the review process faster and clearer.
+
+## Feedback, Issues, Pull Requests
+
+The GitHub [track repository][github] is the home for all of the Rust exercises. If you have feedback about an exercise, or want to help implement new exercises, head over there and create an issue. Members of the rust track team are happy to help!
+
+If you want to know more about Exercism, take a look at the [contribution guide].
+
+## Submitting Incomplete Solutions
+It's possible to submit an incomplete solution so you can see how others have completed the exercise.

+# Run-Length Encoding
+
+Welcome to Run-Length Encoding on Exercism's Rust Track.
+If you need help running the tests or submitting your code, check out `HELP.md`.
+
+## Instructions
+
+Implement run-length encoding and decoding.
+
+Run-length encoding (RLE) is a simple form of data compression, where runs
+(consecutive data elements) are replaced by just one data value and count.
+
+For example we can represent the original 53 characters with only 13.
+
+```text
+"WWWWWWWWWWWWBWWWWWWWWWWWWBBBWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWB"  ->  "12WB12W3B24WB"
+```
+
+RLE allows the original data to be perfectly reconstructed from
+the compressed data, which makes it a lossless data compression.
+
+```text
+"AABCCCDEEEE"  ->  "2AB3CD4E"  ->  "AABCCCDEEEE"
+```
+
+For simplicity, you can assume that the unencoded string will only contain
+the letters A through Z (either lower or upper case) and whitespace. This way
+data to be encoded will never contain any numbers and numbers inside data to
+be decoded always represent the count for the following character.
