Problem Statement

Given a positive integer n, find the n<sup>th</sup> digit of the infinite integer sequence 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13... and so on.

Examples

  • Example 1:

    • Input: n = 3
    • Expected Output: 3
    • Justification: The sequence starts as 1, 2, 3... so the third digit is 3.

  • Example 2:

    • Input: n = 110000
    • Expected Output: 2
    • Justification: In the sequence, the 110,000th digit is part of a larger number where the pattern has expanded beyond single, double, and triple digits. Specifically, it falls within the range of five or more digit numbers, landing on a 2.

  • Example 3:

    • Input: n = 15
    • Expected Output: 2
    • Justification: Considering the sequence, the 15th digit falls in the number 12, which is 2.
