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 class Solution {
public String countAndSay(int n) {
if(n==1) return "1";
String s = countAndSay(n-1);
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for(int i=0;i<s.length();i++){
char c = s.charAt(i);
int k = 0;
for(int j=i+1;j<s.length();j++){
if(c==s.charAt(j)){
k++;
}else{
break;
}
}
i=i+k;
if(k==0){
sb.append("1"+Character.toString(c));
}
else{
sb.append(Integer.toString(k+1)+Character.toString(c));
}
}
return sb.toString();
