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.
public: string countAndSay(int n) { string start = intToString(1); string tmp = ""; int i,j; char cur = start[0]; int count = 0; for(i = 1; i < n; i++) { for(j = 0; j < start.length(); j++) { if(start[j] == cur) { count++; }else{ tmp = tmp+intToString(count)+cur; cur = start[j]; count = 1; } } tmp = tmp+intToString(count)+cur; start = tmp; count = 0; tmp = ""; cur = start[0]; } return start; } string intToString(int in) { return to_string(in); }
