Write a program to find the 

nth

 super ugly number.

Super ugly numbers are positive numbers whose all prime factors are in the given prime list 

primes

 of size 

k

.

Example:

Input: n = 12, [code]primes

=

[2,7,13,19]

Output: 32 Explanation:

[1,2,4,7,8,13,14,16,19,26,28,32]

is the sequence of the first 12 super ugly numbers given

primes

=

[2,7,13,19]

of size 4.[/code]

Note:

• 1

   is a super ugly number for any given 

  primes

  .
• The given numbers in 

  primes

   are in ascending order.
• 0 < 

  k

   ≤ 100, 0 < 

  n

   ≤ 106, 0 < 

  primes[i]

   < 1000.
• The nth super ugly number is guaranteed to fit in a 32-bit signed integer.

264. Ugly Number II 的拓展，还是找出第n个丑陋数，但质数集合不在只是2，3，5，而是可以任意给定。难度增加了，但本质上和Ugly Number II 没有什么区别，由于不知道质数的个数，可以用一个idx数组来保存当前的位置，然后从每个子链中取出一个数，找出其中最小值，然后更新idx数组对应位置，注意有可能最小值不止一个，要更新所有最小值的位置。

解题思路：
要使得super ugly number不漏掉，那么需要使用每个因子去乘以其对应的“第一个”丑数。那么何为对应的“第一个”丑数？

首先，利用ugly[]数组来保存所有的超级丑数，ugly[i]表示第i+1个超级丑数；

接着利用pointer[]数组来表示每个因子对应的“第一个”丑数的下标。pointer数组长度当然需要和primes长度一致，且初始化为0，代表着每个因子对应的“第一个”丑数都是ugly[0]；

接下来我们以primes[2,7,13,19],pointer[0,0,0,0],ugly[0]=1作为初始条件往下看：

遍历primes数组，用每个因子都乘以其对应的第一个丑数，即ugly[0]=1,可以发现1x2=2是最小值，故ugly[1]=2;但要注意，此时的pointer数组发生了变化：

由于当前产生的丑数2是由2这个因子乘以它的对应“第一个”丑数得到的，因此需要将pointer[0]加一。pointer[0]是2这个因子对应的“第一个”丑数的下标，因为当前已经使用了2x1，如果不更新，则下一轮还是会用2这个因子去乘以第一个丑数(ugly[0]).将其更新后，则意味着2这个因子对应的第一个丑数已经改变了，变成了ugly[1].而其他三个对应的“第一个”丑数还是ugly[0]。

我们接着看下一轮：2x2【即ugly[pointer[1]]x2】,1x7,1x13,1x19，发现还是2这个因子得到的数最小，故更新：ugly[2]=2x2=4,pointer[0]=2；

下一轮：4x2,1x7,1x13,1x19,可以发现当前这一轮最小值是7，且由因子7产生，故更新：ugly[3]=7,pointer[1]=1；

以此类推....
如果更新过程中，出现最小值不止一个的话，则其对应的pointer的值都需要增加1。

Java:

public int nthSuperUglyNumber(int n, int[] primes) {
int[] ugly = new int[n+1];
ugly[0]=1;
int[] pointer = new int[primes.length];
for(int i=1;i<n;i++) {
int min=Integer.MAX_VALUE;
int minIndex = 0;
for(int j=0;j<primes.length;j++) {
if(ugly[pointer[j]]*primes[j]<min) {
min=ugly[pointer[j]]*primes[j];
minIndex = j;
}else if(ugly[pointer[j]]*primes[j]==min) {
pointer[j]++;
}
}
ugly[i]=min;
pointer[minIndex]++;
}
return ugly[n-1];
}

Java:1

public int nthSuperUglyNumberI(int n, int[] primes) {
int[] ugly = new int

int[] idx = new int[primes.length];

ugly[0] = 1;
for (int i = 1; i < n; i++) {
//find next
ugly[i] = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
for (int j = 0; j < primes.length; j++)
ugly[i] = Math.min(ugly[i], primes[j] * ugly[idx[j]]);

//slip duplicate
for (int j = 0; j < primes.length; j++) {
while (primes[j] * ugly[idx[j]] <= ugly[i]) idx[j]++;
}
}

return ugly[n - 1];
}

Java:2

public int nthSuperUglyNumber(int n, int[] primes) {
int[] ugly = new int
;
int[] idx = new int[primes.length];
int[] val = new int[primes.length];
Arrays.fill(val, 1);

int next = 1;
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
ugly[i] = next;

next = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
for (int j = 0; j < primes.length; j++) {
//skip duplicate and avoid extra multiplication
if (val[j] == ugly[i]) val[j] = ugly[idx[j]++] * primes[j];
//find next ugly number
next = Math.min(next, val[j]);
}
}

return ugly[n - 1];
}

Java: 3 index heap　

public int nthSuperUglyNumberHeap(int n, int[] primes) {

PriorityQueue<Num> pq = new PriorityQueue<>();
for (int i = 0; i < primes.length; i++) pq.add(new Num(primes[i], 1, primes[i]));

ugly[i] = pq.peek().val;
while (pq.peek().val == ugly[i]) {
Num nxt = pq.poll();
pq.add(new Num(nxt.p * ugly[nxt.idx], nxt.idx + 1, nxt.p));
