can you please explain how to approach this problem
Finding cb number
Hello @lipikarustagi,
In the question you have to find the maximum number of CB numbers that you can form from the input:
In the Sample Testcases:
Example 1:
5
81615
There are at max two CB numbers that we can form:
61
5
Thus, the output is 2.
Approach:
-
check for all sub-strings of the given string of digits, starting from the all strings of length 1 and then gradually checking for the strings of increasing size:
1.1. check if the sub-string is CB number: for this, create a function
1.1.1. if sub-string is 1 or 0 return false.
1.1.2. if sub-string is any of the {2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29}, then return true.
1.1.3. if sub-string is divisible by any of the {2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29}, then return false.
1.1.4. return false
1.2. now if it is a substring:
1.2.1. call a function that marks the index as visited for indexes which are part of that CB number.
1.3. increment the count for CB number. -
Print the count
