Count and Say
The count-and-say sequence is the sequence of integers beginning as follows:
1, 11, 21, 1211, 111221, ...
1
is read off as "one 1"
or 11
.
11
is read off as "two 1s"
or 21
.
21
is read off as "one 2
, then one 1"
or 1211
.
Given an integer n, generate the nth sequence.
Note: The sequence of integers will be represented as a string.
string countAndSay(int n) {
string ret="1";
while(--n)
{
ret =getnext(ret);
}
return ret;
}
string getnext(string s)
{
int count =0;
char temp =s[0],ch;
string ret="";
for(int i=0;i<s.size();i++)
{
if(s[i] ==temp)
{
temp =s[i];
count++;
}
else{
ch =count+'0';
ret +=ch;
ret +=temp;
count =1;
temp =s[i];
}
}
ch =count+'0';
ret +=ch;
ret +=temp;
return ret;
}
