Write a program to check if a given integer is jumbled or not. A number is said to be Jumbled if for every digit, its neighbours digit differs by max 1. 

Examples : 

Input : 6765
Output : True
All neighbour digits differ by atmost 1.

Input : 1223
Output : True

Input : 1235
Output : False

 

Approach:

  • Find the adjacent digits in the number while num > 0
    • if the absolute difference of the digits is greater than 1.
      • Return false
  • Return True

Below is the implementation of the above idea : 

C++




// CPP code to check if a
// number is jumbled or not
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to check if a
// number is jumbled or not
bool checkJumbled(int num)
{
    // Single digit number
    if (num / 10 == 0)
        return true;
 
    // Checking every digit
    // through a loop
    while (num != 0)
    {
 
        // All digits were checked
        if (num / 10 == 0)
            return true;
 
        // Digit at index i
        int digit1 = num % 10;
 
        // Digit at index i-1
        int digit2 = (num / 10) % 10;
 
        // If difference is
        // greater than 1
        if (abs(digit2 - digit1) > 1)
            return false;
 
        num = num / 10;
    }
 
    // Number checked
    return true;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
 
    //-1234 to be checked
    int num = -1234;
 
    if (checkJumbled(num))
        cout << "True \n";
    else
        cout << "False \n";
 
    // 287 to be checked
    num = -1247;
 
    if (checkJumbled(num))
        cout << "True \n";
    else
        cout << "False \n";
 
    return 0;
}

// Java code to check if a

            return true;
     
        // Checking every digit
        // through a loop
        while (num != 0)
        {
     
            // All digits were checked
            if (num / 10 == 0)
                return true;
     
            // Digit at index i
            int digit1 = num % 10;
     
            // Digit at index i-1
            int digit2 = (num / 10) % 10;
     
            // If difference is
            // greater than 1
            if (Math.abs(digit2 - digit1) > 1)
                return false;
     
            num = num / 10;
        }
     
        // Number checked
        return true;
    }
     
    // Driver code
    public static void main (String[]args)
    {
        //-1234 to be checked
        int num = -1234;
     
        if (checkJumbled(num))
            System.out.println("True ");
        else
            System.out.println("False ");
     
        // 287 to be checked
        num = -1247;

            System.out.println("True ");
                 
        else
