SummaryRanges.swift

/**
 * Question Link: https://leetcode.com/problems/summary-ranges/
 * Primary idea: Traverse the array and build string when num[i] != num[i - 1] + 1, 
 *               note to handle the edge case when it goes to the end of the array
 *
 * Time Complexity: O(n), Space Complexity: O(n)
