I'd like to sum up consecutive numbers in a Kotlin list.
If the list has a 0 then it should start summing up the numbers after 0. The result would be a list of sums. Basically sum up until the first 0 then until the next 0 and so forth.
For example:
val arr = arrayOf(1, 2, 0, 2, 1, 3, 0, 4)
// list of sums = [3, 6, 4]
At the moment I got it working with fold:
val sums: List<Int> = arr.fold(listOf(0)) { sums: List<Int>, n: Int ->
if (n == 0)
sums + n
else
sums.dropLast(1) + (sums.last() + n)
}
but I wonder if there is a simpler or more efficient way of doing this.
I would personally have written it this way:
val sums = mutableListOf(0).also { acc ->
arr.forEach { if (it == 0) acc.add(0) else acc[acc.lastIndex] += it }
}
Using a mutable list, you avoid having to do any drop / concatenation. The code is also easier to follow.
You can still convert it to an immutable list using .toList() if you need to.
how to create a function (number: Int), which accepts the parameter num as a number,
then print numbers from 1 to num with the following conditions:
if the number can be divided by 3, then print a letter
if the number can be divided by 5, then print the word
if the numbers can be divided 3 & 5, then print a letterword
Example output:
letterword (5)
1
2
letter
4
word
Not sure what you mean by print 'the word'. Is there a specific word or letter?
For the conditions you can definitely use when, one of the Kotlin flow control operators and the Modulus(%) operator to check if number can be divided by the 3 or 5 or both
fun numberConditions(number : Int){
when{
//[number] can be divided by 3 and 5
number % 3 == 0 && number % 5 == 0 -> {
println("LetterWord")
}`enter code here`
//[number] can be divided by 3
number % 3 == 0 -> {
println("Letter")
}
//[number] can be divided by 5
number % 5 == 0 -> {
println("Word")
}
// [number] cannot be divided by 3 and 5
else -> {
println("number does not satisfy any of the conditions")
}
}
}
I am creating two methods - one that calculates the sum of the digits in a number recursively, and the other iteratively.
I have created the recursive method, and for the most part I understand the concept of finding the sum of digits, but I am not sure how to correctly put it into an iterative method. My code does not give me the correct output.
public static int iterativeDigitSum(long n) {
if(n < 0){
String err = "n must be positive. n = " + n;
throw new IllegalArgumentException(err);
}
if(n == 0){
return 0;
}
long sum = 0;
long i = 0;
while(n > 0){
i = n % 10;
sum = sum + n;
n = n / 10;
}
int inSum = (int)sum;
return inSum;
}
The number "n" is 10, meaning the expected output is 1. I am getting 11. Could you please explain to me what I am doing wrong, and possibly how to fix it? Thank you so much.
Basically, the algorithm consists of three steps:
Get the rightmost digit of the number. Since each digit in a number has a rank of units, tens, hundreds, thousands etc based on its position the rightmost digit is the remainder of dividing the number by 10:
digit = n % 10
Sum the digit up:
sum += digit
Move all the digits one place to the right by dividing the number by 10. The number becomes 10 times smaller:
n = n / 10
Effectively, this will "provide" the next rightmost digit for step 1.
The above three steps are repeated until the value of number becomes zero.
You can help yourself visualize the above explanation by adding some "debugging" information into your code:
public static int iterativeDigitSum(long n)
{
long sum = 0;
int i = 1;
System.out.println("i\tn\tdigit\tsum");
while(n > 0) {
long digit = n % 10;
sum += digit;
System.out.println(i + "\t" + n + "\t" + digit + "\t" + sum);
n = n / 10;
i++;
}
System.out.println("\t" + n + "\t\t" + sum);
return (int)sum;
}
Please note that the i variable is used to count the loop iterations and the digit variable holds the rightmost digit of the number in each iteration.
Given the number 10, the output to the BlueJ console is:
i n digit sum
1 10 0 0
2 1 1 1
0 1
and for the number 2019:
i n digit sum
1 2019 9 9
2 201 1 10
3 20 0 10
4 2 2 12
0 12
Hope it helps.
I decide to modify the following while loop and use it inside a function so that the loop can take any value instead of 6.
i = 0
numbers = []
while i < 6:
numbers.append(i)
i += 1
I created the following script so that I can use the variable(or more specifically argument ) instead of 6 .
def numbers(limit):
i = 0
numbers = []
while i < limit:
numbers.append(i)
i = i + 1
print numbers
user_limit = raw_input("Give me a limit ")
numbers(user_limit)
When I didn't use the raw_input() and simply put the arguments from the script it was working fine but now when I run it(in Microsoft Powershell) a cursor blinks continuously after the question in raw_input() is asked. Then i have to hit CTRL + C to abort it. Maybe the function is not getting called after raw_input().
Now it is giving a memory error like in the pic.
You need to convert user_limit to Int:
raw_input() return value is str and the statement is using i which is int
def numbers(limit):
i = 0
numbers = []
while i < limit:
numbers.append(i)
i = i + 1
print numbers
user_limit = int(raw_input("Give me a limit "))
numbers(user_limit)
Output:
Give me a limit 8
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
I need to find whether a number is divisible by 3 without using %, / or *. The hint given was to use atoi() function. Any idea how to do it?
The current answers all focus on decimal digits, when applying the "add all digits and see if that divides by 3". That trick actually works in hex as well; e.g. 0x12 can be divided by 3 because 0x1 + 0x2 = 0x3. And "converting" to hex is a lot easier than converting to decimal.
Pseudo-code:
int reduce(int i) {
if (i > 0x10)
return reduce((i >> 4) + (i & 0x0F)); // Reduces 0x102 to 0x12 to 0x3.
else
return i; // Done.
}
bool isDiv3(int i) {
i = reduce(i);
return i==0 || i==3 || i==6 || i==9 || i==0xC || i == 0xF;
}
[edit]
Inspired by R, a faster version (O log log N):
int reduce(unsigned i) {
if (i >= 6)
return reduce((i >> 2) + (i & 0x03));
else
return i; // Done.
}
bool isDiv3(unsigned i) {
// Do a few big shifts first before recursing.
i = (i >> 16) + (i & 0xFFFF);
i = (i >> 8) + (i & 0xFF);
i = (i >> 4) + (i & 0xF);
// Because of additive overflow, it's possible that i > 0x10 here. No big deal.
i = reduce(i);
return i==0 || i==3;
}
Subtract 3 until you either
a) hit 0 - number was divisible by 3
b) get a number less than 0 - number wasn't divisible
-- edited version to fix noted problems
while n > 0:
n -= 3
while n < 0:
n += 3
return n == 0
Split the number into digits. Add the digits together. Repeat until you have only one digit left. If that digit is 3, 6, or 9, the number is divisible by 3. (And don't forget to handle 0 as a special case).
While the technique of converting to a string and then adding the decimal digits together is elegant, it either requires division or is inefficient in the conversion-to-a-string step. Is there a way to apply the idea directly to a binary number, without first converting to a string of decimal digits?
It turns out, there is:
Given a binary number, the sum of its odd bits minus the sum of its even bits is divisible by 3 iff the original number was divisible by 3.
As an example: take the number 3726, which is divisible by 3. In binary, this is 111010001110. So we take the odd digits, starting from the right and moving left, which are [1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1]; the sum of these is 5. The even bits are [0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1]; the sum of these is 2. 5 - 2 = 3, from which we can conclude that the original number is divisible by 3.
A number divisible by 3, iirc has a characteristic that the sum of its digit is divisible by 3. For example,
12 -> 1 + 2 = 3
144 -> 1 + 4 + 4 = 9
The interview question essentially asks you to come up with (or have already known) the divisibility rule shorthand with 3 as the divisor.
One of the divisibility rule for 3 is as follows:
Take any number and add together each digit in the number. Then take that sum and determine if it is divisible by 3 (repeating the same procedure as necessary). If the final number is divisible by 3, then the original number is divisible by 3.
Example:
16,499,205,854,376
=> 1+6+4+9+9+2+0+5+8+5+4+3+7+6 sums to 69
=> 6 + 9 = 15 => 1 + 5 = 6, which is clearly divisible by 3.

Wikipedia/Divisibility rule - has many rules for many divisors
Given a number x.
Convert x to a string. Parse the string character by character. Convert each parsed character to a number (using atoi()) and add up all these numbers into a new number y.
Repeat the process until your final resultant number is one digit long. If that one digit is either 3,6 or 9, the origional number x is divisible by 3.
My solution in Java only works for 32-bit unsigned ints.
static boolean isDivisibleBy3(int n) {
int x = n;
x = (x >>> 16) + (x & 0xffff); // max 0x0001fffe
x = (x >>> 8) + (x & 0x00ff); // max 0x02fd
x = (x >>> 4) + (x & 0x000f); // max 0x003d (for 0x02ef)
x = (x >>> 4) + (x & 0x000f); // max 0x0011 (for 0x002f)
return ((011111111111 >> x) & 1) != 0;
}
It first reduces the number down to a number less than 32. The last step checks for divisibility by shifting the mask the appropriate number of times to the right.
You didn't tag this C, but since you mentioned atoi, I'm going to give a C solution:
int isdiv3(int x)
{
div_t d = div(x, 3);
return !d.rem;
}
bool isDiv3(unsigned int n)
{
unsigned int n_div_3 =
n * (unsigned int) 0xaaaaaaab;
return (n_div_3 < 0x55555556);//<=>n_div_3 <= 0x55555555
/*
because 3 * 0xaaaaaaab == 0x200000001 and
(uint32_t) 0x200000001 == 1
*/
}
bool isDiv5(unsigned int n)
{
unsigned int n_div_5 =
i * (unsigned int) 0xcccccccd;
return (n_div_5 < 0x33333334);//<=>n_div_5 <= 0x33333333
/*
because 5 * 0xcccccccd == 0x4 0000 0001 and
(uint32_t) 0x400000001 == 1
*/
}
Following the same rule, to obtain the result of divisibility test by 'n', we can :
multiply the number by 0x1 0000 0000 - (1/n)*0xFFFFFFFF
compare to (1/n) * 0xFFFFFFFF
The counterpart is that for some values, the test won't be able to return a correct result for all the 32bit numbers you want to test, for example, with divisibility by 7 :
we got 0x100000000- (1/n)*0xFFFFFFFF = 0xDB6DB6DC
and 7 * 0xDB6DB6DC = 0x6 0000 0004,
We will only test one quarter of the values, but we can certainly avoid that with substractions.
Other examples :
11 * 0xE8BA2E8C = A0000 0004, one quarter of the values
17 * 0xF0F0F0F1 = 10 0000 0000 1
comparing to 0xF0F0F0F
Every values !
Etc., we can even test every numbers by combining natural numbers between them.
A number is divisible by 3 if all the digits in the number when added gives a result 3, 6 or 9. For example 3693 is divisible by 3 as 3+6+9+3 = 21 and 2+1=3 and 3 is divisible by 3.
inline bool divisible3(uint32_t x) //inline is not a must, because latest compilers always optimize it as inline.
{
//1431655765 = (2^32 - 1) / 3
//2863311531 = (2^32) - 1431655765
return x * 2863311531u <= 1431655765u;
}
On some compilers this is even faster then regular way: x % 3. Read more here.
well a number is divisible by 3 if all the sum of digits of the number are divisible by 3. so you could get each digit as a substring of the input number and then add them up. you then would repeat this process until there is only a single digit result.
if this is 3, 6 or 9 the number is divisable by 3.
Here is a pseudo-algol i came up with .
Let us follow binary progress of multiples of 3
000 011
000 110
001 001
001 100
001 111
010 010
010 101
011 000
011 011
011 110
100 001
100 100
100 111
101 010
101 101
just have a remark that, for a binary multiple of 3 x=abcdef in following couples abc=(000,011),(001,100),(010,101) cde doest change , hence, my proposed algorithm:
divisible(x):
y = x&7
z = x>>3
if number_of_bits(z)<4
if z=000 or 011 or 110 , return (y==000 or 011 or 110) end
if z=001 or 100 or 111 , return (y==001 or 100 or 111) end
if z=010 or 101 , return (y==010 or 101) end
end
if divisible(z) , return (y==000 or 011 or 110) end
if divisible(z-1) , return (y==001 or 100 or 111) end
if divisible(z-2) , return (y==010 or 101) end
end
