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.
Given n = 5, return "111221".
The sequence of integers will be represented as a string.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
1\ create a function to read the previous string.
2\ when we read the string ,we need to remeber two variables, one to record the count of the same num,one to record the num itself.
3\ keep in mind that the string in java or C# cannot be changed, so we need to use StringBuilder to save the new string.
