Given a string str in which an integer is appended in the end (with or without leading zeroes). The task is to find a single digit from the range [0, 9] that must be appended in the end of the integer so that the number becomes equal to the length of remaining string. Print -1 if its not possible.
Examples: 
 

Input: str = “geeksforgeeks1” 
Output:
Length of “geeksforgeeks” is 13 
So, 3 must be appended at the end of 1.
Input: str = “abcd0” 
Output:
 

 

Approach: Find the number appended in the end of the string say num and append a 0 in the end which is the least digit possible i.e. num = num * 10. Now find the length of the remaining string ignoring the numeric from the end say len. Now the digit which must be appended will be digit = len – num. If digit is in the range [0, 9] then print it else print -1.
Below is the implementation of the above approach: 
 

C++




// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to return the required digit
int find_digit(string s, int n)
{
 
    // To store the position of the first
    // numeric digit in the string
    int first_digit = -1;
    for (int i = n - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
        if (s[i] < '0' || s[i] > '9') {
            first_digit = i;
            break;
        }
    }
    first_digit++;
 
    // To store the length of the
    // string without the numeric
    // digits in the end
    int s_len = first_digit;
 
    // pw stores the current power of 10
    // and num is to store the number
    // which is appended in the end
    int num = 0, pw = 1;
    int i = n - 1;
    while (i >= 0) {
 
        // If current character is
        // a numeric digit
        if (s[i] >= '0' && s[i] <= '9') {
 
            // Get the current digit
            int digit = s[i] - '0';
 
            // Build the number
            num = num + (pw * digit);
 
            // If number exceeds the length
            if (num >= s_len)
                return -1;
 
            // Next power of 10
            pw = pw * 10;
        }
        i--;
    }
 
    // Append 0 in the end
    num = num * 10;
 
    // Required number that must be added
    int req = s_len - num;
 
    // If number is not a single digit
    if (req > 9 || req < 0)
        return -1;
    return req;
}

{
    string s = "abcd0";
    int n = s.length();
 
    cout << find_digit(s, n);
 
    return 0;
}
