原题
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.
读来读去,没有理解题意,后来找别人的算法,翻译了下:
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。
我们想到用递归处理
public class Solution { public String countAndSay(int n) { if(n==1){ return 1+""; } String str=countAndSay(n-1)+"*"; int count=1; String s=""; for(int i=0;i<str.length()-1;i++){ if(str.charAt(i)==str.charAt(i+1)){ count++; }else{ s=s+count+str.charAt(i); count=1; } } return s; } }
