Nth ugly number

CodingAlgorithms & data structuresMid–Senior~22 min

An ugly number is a positive integer whose only prime factors are 2, 3, and 5. The sequence begins 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, ... (1 is included by convention). Given n (1 <= n <= 1690), return the nth ugly number. The answer fits in a 64-bit integer.

What a strong answer looks like

State your approach and its time/space complexity out loud before you optimize. Handle the edge cases (empty input, duplicates, overflow), and say why you chose this over the brute force. Green tests are the floor, not the grade.
