264. Ugly Number II

Write a program to find the n-th ugly number.

Ugly numbers are positive numbers whose prime factors only include 2, 3, 5.

Example:

Input: n = 10
Output: 12
Explanation: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12 is the sequence of the first 10 ugly numbers.

Note:
1 is typically treated as an ugly number.
n does not exceed 1690.

难度：medium

题目：写程序找出第n个丑数。丑数公因子只由2,3,5构正的正整数。

思路：三路指针。
