Prerequisites

Prefix sums

Problem

You are given to integers L and R. Find the number of integers which have the last digit as 2, 3 or 9 and lie in the range [L, R].

Explanation

As the constrainsts are small on L and R, we can pre-calculate all good numbers. Then each test case just asks to find out how many good numbers lie within the given range. This can be easily answered using prefix-sums. If you don’t know about prefix-sums, you can read it here. Basically the idea is the following:

\sum_{i=l}^{i=r} A_i = \sum_{i=1}^{i=r} A_i - \sum_{i=1}^{i=l-1} A_i

\sum_{i=l}^{i=r} A_i = \text{(Prefix-sum at i=r)} - \text{(Prefix-sum at i=l-1)}

Below is a pseudo-code for it:


	def init():
		for i in [1, 1000000]:
			last_digit = i % 10
			if last_digit == 2 or last_digit == 3 or last_digit == 9:
				good[i] = 1
			else:
				good[i] = 0

		# Build prefix sum
		for i in [1, 1000000]:
			good[i] += good[i-1]

	def solve(l, r):
		ans = good[r] - good[l-1]
		return ans

The time complexity of the above approach will be O(N + T), where N = 100000 is for pre-computation and T is for answering every test case in O(1) using prefix-sums. The space complexity of the above approach will be O(N) for storing the prefix array of good elements.

Bonus Problem

Solve the problem without any pre-computation and in O(1) memory.

Idea:

Note that every consecutive number from “x…0” to “x…9” has 3 good numbers.

Feel free to share your approach, if it was somewhat different.

Since constraints were easy there was no need to define an array to hold good/pretty numbers.

a simple brute force from l to r and checking the last digit would yield the same result.

Time Complexity: O(N)

Space Complexity: O(1)

My Solution:

Time Complexity : O(T)

Space Complexity : O(1)

It will be useful if no. of test case is quite large.

Its a simple Brute Force application. Amazed to see such a simple problem in LTIME61B.
My code goes here…(in cpp).## Heading ##


#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
     int t,cnt,digit,l,r;
     cin>>t;
     while(t--)
    {
        cnt = 0;
        cin>>l>>r;
        for(int i=l;i<=r;i++)
        {
            digit = i % 10;
            if(digit == 2 || digit == 3 || digit == 9)
                cnt++;
        }
        cout<<cnt<<endl;
    }
    return 0;
}

Wtf… I wasted a lot of time on this question due to some connection issue and due to some problem with codechef IDE…
Didn’t knew that 1st question is that low in div2 (as I was in div2 before contest and I was in div1 before previous contest)…
This is completely brute Force…

l_returns · July 1, 2018, 12:22am

I did O(1) space approach

aryanc403 · July 1, 2018, 1:02am

@l_returns Pro tip #1 (#nooffence) Never use codechef ide in short contest for testing soln. It will ~1 min to give verdict. And sometimes it also shows “Submission Limit Reached” . Alternative offline ide(Best Option), CodeForces Ide (A bit slower but can be used) both are relatively faster. I personally use these options for testing purpose.

Time Complexity: O(T)
Space Complexity: O(1)
Java solution: CodeChef: Practical coding for everyone
Just check,

how many of (2,3,9) ending numbers are present between L and next round figure (multiple of 10)
how many of (2,3,9) ending numbers are present between R and previous round figure(multiple of 10)
find the difference between these two round figures and divide by 10 and multiply by 3 (because there are 3 possibilites for each 0-10, 10-20, 20-30 etc…)
sum of all the counts from above 3 steps gives the answer.

Eg: L=11 and R=33
1) count = 3, nextL = 20
2) count = 2, previousR = 30
3) count = (previousR-nextL)*3 = ((30-20)/10)*3 = 3
4) total count = 3+2+3 = 8

No need of any brute-force approach.

guruch2206 · December 5, 2019, 8:19am

Hi I am beginner. Why am I getting partially solved mark for this question? If my code is not right for all test cases where can I get those test cases to test on different IDE?
A little help please
Thanks in advance!

lightandl · April 29, 2020, 3:39pm

I did it in O(1) time complexity and O(1) space complexity
No Loops Bro…,I liked it

void solve(){
    int l,r;cin>>l>>r;l--;
    int a1=(r/10)*3;
    int a2=(l/10)*3;
    r=r%10;l=l%10;
    if(r>1)a1++;if(r>2)a1++;if(r==9)a1++;
    if(l>1)a2++;if(l>2)a2++;if(l==9)a2++;
    cout<<a1-a2<<endl;
 }

	a=a+10-temp ;

@likecs @shivam_g1470 @anishray042 @hunterr_196 @l_returns @aryanc403

what is wrong with my code
https://www.codechef.com/viewsolution/36882644
my approach is for example l=12 and r =33
then l=l-1 mean l=11( because range is inclusive )
now lx =l%10 and rx =r%10
lx =1 and rx=3

now for get no of magical no l=( l/10*2 )and r =( r/10)*3
if lx>1 then add 1 if lx>2 and 1 and i lx>8 add 1
same for y
we get r=11 and l=3
finaly answer = r-l
11-3 =8 which is right
it is showing wa

	    long left = L - (L%10), right = R + (10 - (R%10));
	    count += 3 * ((right-left)/10);
	    
	    count -= (count_pretty(left, L) + count_pretty(R+1, right));
	    printf("%ld\n", count);
	}
	return 0;
}

joffan · July 27, 2021, 9:02pm

Well, if you have the spare time to do it that way… but better to just calculate how many whole tens (which each have three pretty numbers) and tidy up the edges:

fav = (2,3,9)
T = int(input())
for tx in range(T):
    L, R = map(int, input().split())
    Lten, Lunit = divmod(L,10)
    Rten, Runit = divmod(R,10)
    if Lten == Rten:
        ct = sum(i in fav for i in range(Lunit, Runit+1))
    else:
        ct = (3*(Rten-Lten-1) 
                + sum(i in fav for i in range(Lunit, 10)) 
                + sum(i in fav for i in range(0, Runit+1)))
    print(ct)
