A Duck number is a positive number which has zeroes present in it, For example 3210, 8050896, 70709 are all Duck numbers. Please note that a numbers with only leading 0s is not considered as Duck Number. For example, numbers like 035 or 0012 are not considered as Duck Numbers. A number like 01203 is considered as Duck because there is a non-leading 0 present in it.

Examples :

Input : 707069 
Output : It is a duck number. 
Explanation: 707069 does not contains zeros at the beginning.

Input : 02364 
Output : It is not a duck number. 
Explanation: in 02364 there is a zero at the beginning of the number.

Output

It is a duck number




Time Complexity: O(n) where n is length of string.
Auxiliary Space: O(1)

Approach 2:String manipulation

  1. Take the input number as an integer n.
  2. Convert the integer n to a string s using the to_string function in C++.
  3. Find the length of the string s and initialize a boolean variable hasZero to false.
  4. Iterate over the characters of the string s starting from the second character (i.e., the first non-zero digit) to the end of the string.
  5. If any character is equal to ‘0’, set hasZero to true and break out of the loop.
  6. Check if the first character of the string s is not equal to ‘0’.
  7. If both conditions in steps 4 and 5 are satisfied, return true (i.e., the number is a Duck Number); otherwise, return false (i.e., the number is not a Duck Number).

C++




#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
 
bool isDuckNumber(int n) {
    string s = to_string(n);
    int len = s.length();
    bool hasZero = false;
    for (int i = 1; i < len; i++) {
        if (s[i] == '0') {
            hasZero = true;
            break;
        }
    }
    return (hasZero && s[0] != '0');
}
 
int main() {
    int n = 1023;
    if (isDuckNumber(n)) {
        cout << "It is a Duck Number" << endl;
    } else {
        cout << "It is not a Duck Number" << endl;
    }
    return 0;
}

      if (s.charAt(i) == '0') {
        hasZero = true;
        break;

It is a Duck Number




Time Complexity: O(n) 
Auxiliary Space: O(n)

The time complexity of this algorithm is O(n), where n is the number of digits in the input integer. This is because we need to iterate over all the digits in the integer to check if there is a zero after the first non-zero digit.

The space complexity of this algorithm is also O(n), because we need to store the string representation of the input integer. The length of this string is equal to the number of digits in the integer, which is at most log10(n) + 1.

In general, string manipulation algorithms have higher space complexity compared to their integer-based counterparts because they require additional space to store the string representation of the input. However, they can sometimes be more intuitive to understand and implement.
