Digit Count in Range


Suppose we have an integer d between 0 and 9, we also have two positive integers low and high as lower and upper bounds, respectively. We have to find the number of times that d occurs as a digit in all integers between low and high, including the bounds low and high.

So, if the input is like d = 1, low = 1, high = 13, then the output will be 6, as digit d=1 occurs 6 times like 1,10,11,12,13.

To solve this, we will follow these steps −

Define a function zero(), this will take n,

  • ret := 0, x := 0

  • if n is same as 0, then −

    • return 1

  • for initialize m := 1, when m <= n, update m := m * 10, do −

    • a := n / m

    • b := n mod m

    • z := a mod 10

    • if number of digits in m is same as number of digits in n, then −

      • Come out from the loop

    • if z > x, then −

      • ret := ret + ((a / 10) + 1)

    • otherwise when z is same as x, then

      • ret := ret + ((a / 10) * m + (b + 1))

    • Otherwise

      • ret := ret + (a / 10)

  • return ret

  • Define a function f(), this will take x, n,

  • ret := 0

  • for initialize m := 1, when m <= n, update m := m * 10, do −

    • a := n / m

    • b := n mod m

    • z := a mod 10

    • if z > x, then

      • ret := ret + ((a / 10) + 1)

    • otherwise when z is same as x, then −

      • ret := ret + ((a / 10) * m + (b + 1))

    • Otherwise

      • ret := ret + (a / 10)

    • if x is same as 0, then −

      • ret := ret - m

  • return ret

  • From the main method do the following

  • return ret

  • return f(d, high - f(d, low - 1))

Let us see the following implementation to get better understanding −
