Random quick post today1. Basically, we want to write code to generate what’s known as Look and Say sequence:
To generate a member of the sequence from the previous member, read off the digits of the previous member, counting the number of digits in groups of the same digit. For example:
- 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.
- 1211 is read off as “one 1, then one 2, then two 1s” or 111221.
- 111221 is read off as “three 1s, then two 2s, then one 1” or 312211.
