Convert all substrings of length 'k' from base 'b' to decimal

A string defining a valid number is given. Output all the base conversions of substrings of length ‘k’ from base ‘b’ to base 10.

Examples:

Input :  str = "12212", 
      k = 3, b = 3.
Output : 17 25 23
Explanation :
All the substrings of length 'k' are : 122, 221, 212.
Base conversion can be computed using the formula.

Recommended: Please try your approach on {IDE} first, before moving on to the solution.

Method 1 (Simple)

A simple approach is to use simple base conversion technique. For a base b number str, its decimal equivalent is str[0]*b⁰ + str[1]*b¹ + str[2]*b² + … + str[n-1]*b^n-1

C++

// Simple C++ program to convert all substrings from 
// decimal to given base. 
#include <bits/stdc++.h> 
using namespace std; 
  
int substringConversions(string str, int k, int b) 
{ 
    for (int i=0; i + k <= str.size(); i++) 
    { 
        // Saving substring in sub 
        string sub = str.substr(i, k);         
          
        // Evaluating decimal for current substring 
        // and printing it. 
        int sum = 0, counter = 0; 
        for (int i = sub.size() - 1; i >= 0; i--) 
        { 
            sum = sum + ((sub.at(i) - '0') * pow(b, counter)); 
            counter++; 
        }         
        cout << sum << " "; 
    } 
} 
  
// Driver code 
int main() 
{ 
    string str = "12212"; 
    int b = 3, k = 3; 
    substringConversions(str, b, k);     
    return 0; 
} 

Java

// Simple Java program to convert all substrings from 
// decimal to given base. 
  
class GFG 
{ 
  
static void substringConversions(String str, int k, int b) 
{ 
    for (int i=0; i + k <= str.length(); i++) 
    { 
        // Saving substring in sub 
        String sub = str.substring(i, i+k);      
          
        // Evaluating decimal for current substring 
        // and printing it. 
        int sum = 0, counter = 0; 
        for (int j = sub.length() - 1; j >= 0; j--) 
        { 
            sum = (int) (sum + ((sub.charAt(j) - '0') * 
                                    Math.pow(b, counter))); 
            counter++; 
        }      
        System.out.print(sum + " "); 
    } 
} 
  
// Driver code 
public static void main(String[] args) 
{ 
    String str = "12212"; 
    int b = 3, k = 3; 
    substringConversions(str, b, k);

Time Complexity : O(n*k)

Method 2 (Using sliding window)

We can use Sliding Window technique to solve it in linear time. Every time we slide the window, we will subtract the weight of first element i.e. (element * pow(b, k-1) ). Now multiplying the previous sum with ‘b’ will increase weight of every element 3 times which is required. Also we will simply add the new element in window because its weight will be element * pow(b, 0).

Below is the implementation :

C++

// Efficient C++ program to convert all substrings from 
// decimal to given base. 
#include <bits/stdc++.h> 
using namespace std; 
  
int substringConversions(string str, int k, int b) 
{ 
   int i = 0, sum = 0, counter = k-1; 
  
    // Computing the decimal of first window 
    for (i; i < k; i++) 
    { 
        sum = sum + ((str.at(i) - '0') * pow(b, counter)); 
        counter--; 
    } 
    cout << sum << " "; 
      
    // prev stores the pervious decimal 
    int prev = sum; 
             
    // Computing decimal equivalents of all other windows 
    sum = 0, counter = 0; 
    for (i; i < str.size(); i++) 
    { 
        // Subtracting weight of the element pushed out of window 
        sum = prev - ((str.at(i - k) - '0') * pow(b, k-1)); 
          
        // Multiplying the decimal by base to formulate other window  
        sum = sum * b; 
          
        // Adding the new element of window to sum 
        sum = sum + (str.at(i) - '0'); 
          
        // Decimal of current window 
        cout << sum << " "; 
          
        // Updating prev 
        prev = sum; 
          
        counter++; 
    } 
} 
  
// Driver code 
int main() 
{ 
    string str = "12212"; 
    int b = 3, k = 3; 
    substringConversions(str, b, k);     
    return 0;
