The abbreviation of a word is a concatenation of its first letter, the number of characters between the first and last letter, and its last letter. If a word has only two characters, then it is an abbreviation of itself.
For example:
- dog —> d1g because there is one letter between the first letter ‘d’ and the last letter ‘g’.
- internationalization —> i18n because there are 18 letters between the first letter ‘i’ and the last letter ‘n’.
- it —> it because any word with only two characters is an abbreviation of itself.
