481\. Magical String
Medium
A magical string `s` consists of only `'1'` and `'2'` and obeys the following rules:
* The string s is magical because concatenating the number of contiguous occurrences of characters `'1'` and `'2'` generates the string `s` itself.
The first few elements of `s` is `s = "1221121221221121122……"`. If we group the consecutive `1`'s and `2`'s in `s`, 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 is `s` itself.
Given an integer `n`, return the number of `1`'s in the first `n` number in the magical string `s`.
**Example 1:**
**Input:** n = 6
**Output:** 3
**Explanation:** The first 6 elements of magical string s is "122112" and it contains three 1's, so return 3.
**Example 2:**
**Input:** n = 1
**Output:** 1
**Constraints:**
* 1 <= n <= 105
