Python Challenge 10

Level 10
点击图片中的牛，转到sequence.txt，写着a = [1, 11, 21, 1211, 111221,查了一下，是一个叫做外观数列的东西。求len(a[30]) = ?

a = ['1', '11', '21', '1211', '111221']
while len(a) < 31:
    last = a[-1]
    new = []
    amount = 0
    number = last[0]
    for n in last:
        if n == number:
            amount += 1
        else:
            new.append(str(amount)+number)
            number = n
            amount = 1
    new.append(str(amount)+number)
    ch = ''
    for n in new:
        ch += n
    a.append(ch)
print len(a[30])

得到len(a[30]) = 5808。
