Solution: Encode and Decode Strings
Explore how to apply bitwise manipulation techniques to encode an array of strings into one string and decode it back reliably. Understand the use of 4-byte length encoding, bit shifts, and string reconstruction. This lesson helps you implement efficient methods for string serialization with optimal time and space complexity.

Statement
Create a method, encode, that converts an array of strings into a single string and then sends it over the network. Create another method, decode, that takes the encoded string and converts it back into the original array of strings.
