问题描述
The count-and-say sequence is the sequence of integers with the first five terms as following:
-
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 where 1 ≤ n ≤ 30, generate the nth term of the count-and-say sequence.
Note: Each term of the sequence of integers will be represented as a string.
Example 1:
Input: 1
Output: “1”
Example 2:
Input: 4
Output: “1211”
实现(java)
class Solution {
public String countAndSay(int n) {
/*
题意是n=1时输出字符串1;
n=2时,数上次字符串中的数值个数,因为上次字符串有1个1,所以输出11;
n=3时,由于上次字符是11,有2个1,所以输出21;
n=4时,由于上次字符串是21,有1个2和1个1,所以输出1211。
n=5时,由于上次字符串是1211,有1个1和1个2和2个1,所以输出111221。
依次类推,写个countAndSay(n)函数返回字符串。
*/
if(n<=0) return "";
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
String s = "1";
//n=1不进入循环 返回字符串‘1’
while(n>1){
//初始化计数器为1
int count = 1;
//设置要比较的字符为字符串第一个
char lastChar = s.charAt(0);
//从字符串第二个开始
for(int i=1; i<s.length(); i++){
//如果当前字符=要比较的字符 计数器加一
if(s.charAt(i) == lastChar)
count++;
//如果当前字符与要比较的字符不相等
else{
//记录当前计数和字符
sb.append(count).append(lastChar);//计数
//重置计数器为1
count = 1;
//设置要比较的字符为当前字符 开始下一次比较
lastChar = s.charAt(i);
}
}
//最后一次的 记录当前计数和字符
sb.append(count).append(lastChar);
//转为字符串赋值给s
s = sb.toString();
//清除缓存
sb.setLength(0);
n--;
}
return s;
}
}
