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"
