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. 
  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。 
  第一种情况:n<0时返回null。 
  第二种情况:当n=1时,返回1 
  第三种情况:当n>1时,假设n-1返回的字符串是s,对s的串进行处理理,对不同的数字进行分组比如112365477899,分成11,2,3,6,5,4,77,8,99。最有就2个1,1个2,1个3,1个6,1个5,一个4,2个7,1个8,2个9,就是211213161614271829,返回此结果。 
算法实现类
public class Solution {
    public String countAndSay(int n) {
        if (n < 1) {
            return null;
        }
        String result = "1";
        for (int i = 2; i <=n ; i++) {
            result = countAndSay(result);
        }
        return result;
    }
    public String countAndSay(String str) {
        StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder(128);
        int count = 1;
        for (int i = 1; i < str.length(); i++) {
            if (str.charAt(i) == str.charAt(i - 1)) {
                count++;
            } else {
                builder.append(count);
                builder.append(str.charAt(i - 1));
                count = 1;
            }
        }
        builder.append(count);
        builder.append(str.charAt(str.length() - 1));
        return builder.toString();
    }
}
