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.
Analysis:
class Solution {
public:
string countAndSay(int n) {
string str = "1";
for(int i=1; i< n; i++)
{
string tmp;
int count = 1;
for(int j=1; j< =str.size(); j++)
{
//1. using str.size() as flag to handle remaining chars
//2. if current value is not equal to previous one, then reset the count and save the current counting
if (j ==str.size() || str[j] != str[j-1])
{
tmp.push_back(count+'0');
tmp.push_back(str[j-1]);
count = 1;
}
else
count++;
}
str = tmp;
}
return str;
}
};
