The count-and-say sequence is a sequence of digit strings defined by the recursive formula:
countAndSay(1) = "1"
countAndSay(n)
is the way you would “say” the digit string fromcountAndSay(n-1)
, which is then converted into a different digit string.
To determine how you “say” a digit string, split it into the minimal number of groups so that each group is a contiguous section all of the same character. Then for each group, say the number of characters, then say the character. To convert the saying into a digit string, replace the counts with a number and concatenate every saying.
For example, the saying and conversion for digit string "3322251"
:
Given a positive integer n
, return the nth
term of the count-and-say sequence.
Example 1:
Input: n = 1 Output: "1" Explanation: This is the base case.
Example 2:
Input: n = 4 Output: "1211" Explanation: countAndSay(1) = "1" countAndSay(2) = say "1" = one 1 = "11" countAndSay(3) = say "11" = two 1's = "21" countAndSay(4) = say "21" = one 2 + one 1 = "12" + "11" = "1211"
Constraints:
1 <= n <= 30
/** * @param {number} n * @return {string} */ var countAndSay = function(n) { if (n === 1) return '1' const theLoop = (num) => { let current = num[0] let count = 0 let str = '' let i = 0 while(i < num.length) { if (current === num[i]) { count++ } else { str += count + current current = num[i] count = 1 } i++ } str += count + current return str } let res = "1" for(let i = 1; i < n; i++) { res = theLoop(res) } return res };
思路
又是一個遞迴的 loop, 從 n 等於 2 開始進入迴圈。
逐一偵測每一個字是否和上一個字相同,若相同則累加數字,不同則進行結算。
