DIFFICULTY:

MEDIUM

PREREQUISITES:

SEARCHING ALGORITHMS

EXPLANATION:

If x’s length is 1, then the answer is 0 or 1. Let us consider otherwise.

Let f(n) be the value of X interpreted base n, then f is strictly monotonically increasing.
Therefore, one can find the maximum n such that f(n)≤M with binary search, and thus solve the problem.
When X is 10, the answer can be at most about M.
Be careful of overflows in the course of calculation.
Let L be the length of X, then the time complexity is O(LlogM). With proper implementation, one can solve it in an O(LogM) time (plus receiving the input).

SOLUTION:

using namespace std;
 
// clang-format off
// template {{{
#define pb push_back

#define L1(u, ...) [&](auto &&u) { return __VA_ARGS__; }
