Given a series of numbers composed only of digits 3 and 5. The first few numbers in the series are: 
 

3, 5, 33, 35, 53, 55, ….. 
 

Given a number N. The task is to find the n-th number in the given series.
Examples
 

Input : N = 2
Output : 5

Input : N = 5
Output : 53

 

The idea is based on the fact that the value of the last digit alternates in the series. For example, if the last digit of ith number is 3, then the last digit of (i-1)th and (i+1)th numbers must be 5.
Create an array of size (n+1) and push 3 and 5(These two are always first two elements of series) to it. For more elements check, 
 

1) If i is odd,
      arr[i] = arr[i/2]*10 + 3;
2) If it is even,
      arr[i] = arr[(i/2)-1]*10 + 5;
At last return arr[n].

Below is the implementation of the above idea:

// C++ program to find n-th number in a series
// made of digits 3 and 5
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to find n-th number in series
// made of 3 and 5
int printNthElement(int n)
{
    // create an array of size (n+1)
    int arr[n + 1];
    arr[1] = 3;
    arr[2] = 5;
 
    for (int i = 3; i <= n; i++) {
        // If i is odd
        if (i % 2 != 0)
            arr[i] = arr[i / 2] * 10 + 3;
        else
            arr[i] = arr[(i / 2) - 1] * 10 + 5;
    }
    return arr[n];
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int n = 6;
 
    cout << printNthElement(n);
 
    return 0;
}

    int arr[n + 1];
    arr[1] = 3;
    arr[2] = 5;
 
    for (int i = 3; i <= n; i++) {
        // If i is odd
        if (i % 2 != 0)
            arr[i] = arr[i / 2] * 10 + 3;
        else
            arr[i] = arr[(i / 2) - 1] * 10 + 5;
    }
    return arr[n];
}

Output: 

55

 

Time complexity: O(n) as using a loop

Auxiliary space: O(n)
