3908. Valid Digit Number

Description

You are given an integer n and a digit x.

A number is considered valid if:

  • It contains at least one occurrence of digit x, and
  • It does not start with digit x.

Return true if n is valid, otherwise return false.

Β 

Example 1:

Input: n = 101, x = 0

Output: true

Explanation:

The number contains digit 0 at index 1. It does not start with 0, so it satisfies both conditions. Thus, the answer is true​​​​​​​.

Example 2:

Input: n = 232, x = 2

Output: false

Explanation:

The number starts with 2, which violates the condition. Thus, the answer is false.

Example 3:

Input: n = 5, x = 1

Output: false

Explanation:

The number does not contain digit 1. Thus, the answer is false.

Β 

Constraints:

  • 0 <= n <= 105​​​​​​​
  • 0 <= x <= 9

Solutions

Solution 1: Simulation

We use a boolean variable \(\textit{hasX}\) to record whether the digit \(x\) appears in \(n\).

We repeatedly take the last digit of \(n\) and compare it with \(x\). If they are equal, we set \(\textit{hasX}\) to \(\texttt{true}\). At the same time, we divide \(n\) by \(10\) to remove the last digit. When \(n\) is less than or equal to \(9\), it means we have checked all the digits. At this point, if \(\textit{hasX}\) is \(\texttt{true}\) and \(n\) is not equal to \(x\), then \(n\) is a valid number and we return \(\texttt{true}\); otherwise, we return \(\texttt{false}\).

The time complexity is \(O(\log n)\), where \(n\) is the input integer. The space complexity is \(O(1)\).
