1140 Look-and-say Sequence

题目

Look-and-say sequence is a sequence of integers as the following:

1
D, D1, D111, D113, D11231, D112213111, ...

where D is in [0, 9] except 1. The (n+1)st number is a kind of description of the nth number. For example, the 2nd number means that there is one D in the 1st number, and hence it is D1; the 2nd number consists of one D(corresponding to D1) and one 1 (corresponding to 11), therefore the 3rd number is D111; or since the 4th number is D113, it consists of one D, two 1's, and one 3, so the next number must be D11231. This definition works for D = 1 as well. Now you are supposed to calculate the Nth number in a look-and-say sequence of a given digit D.

Input Specification:

Each input file contains one test case, which gives D (in [0, 9]) and a positive integer N (≤ 40), separated by a space.

Output Specification:

Print in a line the Nth number in a look-and-say sequence of D.

Sample Input:

1
1 8

Sample Output:

1
1123123111

题意

外观序列是指通过将序列的每个数的数目都"说出来"而形成的序列

D
D1 //D有1个
D111 //D有1个,1有1个
D113 //D有1个,1有3个
D11231 //D有1个,1有2个,3有1个
D112213111 //D有1个,1有2个,2有1个,3有1个,1有1个
...

现在输入一个数D和一个重复次数N,要求输出第N个重复序列.

思路

对于每一次循环的一个序列,比较当前的字符和上一个字符是否相同,如果相同那就让计数器+1,不一样的时候说明这个字符已经完结了,将这个答案拼接到一个临时结果上,最后将临时结果再次放入循环.

public static void Main()
{
string[] lines = Console.ReadLine().Split();
string input = lines[0];
int count = int.Parse(lines[1]);
System.Text.StringBuilder result = new System.Text.StringBuilder("");
while (--count > 0)//这里使用--count,即假设输入的是8,只需要循环7次,因为输入的D已经算是第一次了.
{
int nowCount = 1;
for (int i = 1; i < input.Length; i++)
{
if (input[i] == input[i - 1])
{
nowCount++;
}
else
{
result.Append(input[i - 1] + nowCount.ToString());
//将result定义成StringBuilder可以大幅度降低花费的时间.
//如果直接用string类型的result+=input[i - 1] + nowCount.ToString()来拼接结果,将会导致超时!!!
nowCount = 1;
}
}
result.Append(input[input.Length - 1] + nowCount.ToString());
input = result.ToString();//将临时结果赋值给input进行下次循环.
result.Clear();
}
Console.WriteLine(input);
}
