parse_encoded_string.py

"""
This function accepts an encoded string as a parameter. This string will contain a first name, last name, and an id.

Values in the string can be separated by any number of zeros. The id is a numeric value but will contain no zeros. The function should parse the string and return a Python dictionary that contains the first name, last name, and id values.

An example input would be "Robert000Smith000123". The function should return the following using that input:

{ "first_name": "Robert", "last_name": "Smith", "id": "123" }
