The count-and-say sequence is the sequence of integers with the first five terms as following:
1. 1 2. 11 3. 21 4. 1211 5. 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 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"public class Solution { public String countAndSay(int n) { StringBuilder curr=new StringBuilder("1"); StringBuilder prev; int count; char say; for (int i=1;i<n;i++){ prev=curr; curr=new StringBuilder(); count=1; say=prev.charAt(0); for (int j=1,len=prev.length();j<len;j++){ if (prev.charAt(j)!=say){ curr.append(count).append(say); count=1; say=prev.charAt(j); } else count++; } curr.append(count).append(say); } return curr.toString(); } }
