Count and Say
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.
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。依次类推,写个countAndSay(n)函数返回字符串。
算法思想:
模拟
class Solution {
public:
string convert(const string &say)
{
stringstream ss;
int count = 0;
char last = say[0];
for (size_t i = 0; i < say.size(); ++i)
{
if (say[i] == last)
{
++count;
}
else
{
ss << count << last;
count = 1;
last = say[i];
}
}
ss << count << last;
return ss.str();
}
string countAndSay(int n)
{
if (n <= 0) return string();
string say = "1";
for (int i = 1; i < n; ++i)
{
say = convert(say);
}
return say;
}
};
简洁版:
class Solution {
public:
string countAndSay(int n) {
string s("1");
while(--n){
s=getNext(s);
}
return s;
}
string getNext(string &s){
stringstream ss;
for(auto i=s.begin();i!=s.end();){
auto j=find_if(i,s.end(),bind2nd(not_equal_to<char>(),*i));
ss<<distance(i,j)<<*i;
i=j;
}
return ss.str();
}
};
