【LeetCode】38. Count and Say

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.

 

思路：对于下一个字符串= 对于当前字符串：∑(字符个数+字符)

例如1211，下一个字符串就是count(1)+'1'+count(2)+'2'+count(1)+'1'=111221
