A magical stringSconsists of only '1' and '2' and obeys the following rules:
The stringSis magical because concatenating the number of contiguous occurrences of characters '1' and '2' generates the stringSitself.
The first few elements of stringSis the following:S= "1221121221221121122……"
If we group the consecutive '1's and '2's inS, it will be:
1 22 11 2 1 22 1 22 11 2 11 22 ......
and the occurrences of '1's or '2's in each group are:
1 2 2 1 1 2 1 2 2 1 2 2 ......
You can see that the occurrence sequence above is theSitself.
Given an integer N as input, return the number of '1's in the first N number in the magical stringS.
Note:N will not exceed 100,000.
Example 1:
Input:
6
Output:
3
Explanation:
The first 6 elements of magical string S is "12211" and it contains three 1's, so return 3.
