Count how many times the given digital clock shows identical digits

Given a generic digital clock, having h number of hours and m number of minutes, the task is to find how many times the clock shows identical time. A specific time is said to be identical if every digit in the hours and minutes is same i.e. the time is of type D:D, D:DD, DD:D or DD:DD. 
Note that the time is written on the digital clock without any leading zeros and the clock shows time between 0 to h – 1 hours and 0 to m – 1 minutes. Few examples of identical times are: 

• 1:1
• 22:22
• 3:33
• 11:1

Examples:

Input: hours = 24, minutes = 60 
Output: 19 
The clock has 24 hours and 60 minutes. 
So the identical times will be: 
Single digit hours and single digit minutes -> 0:0, 1:1, 2:2, …., 9:9 
Single digit hours and double digit minutes -> 1:11, 2:22, 3:33, 4:44 and 5:55 
Double digit hours and single digit minutes -> 11:1 and 22:2 
Double digit hours and double digit minutes -> 11:11, 22:22 
Total = 10 + 5 + 2 + 2 = 19
Input: hours = 34, minutes = 50 
Output: 20 

Approach: As we can see in the explained example, we have to first count the single-digit (of hours) identical times and then double-digit hours. During each of these counts, we need to consider single-digit minutes as well as double-digit minutes. 
There will be two loops. First loop deals with single-digit hours. And the second deals with double-digit hours. In each of the loops, there should be two conditions. First, if the iterator variable is less than total minutes, then increment the counter. Second, if (iterator variable + iterator variable * 10) is less than total minutes, increment the counter. In the end, we will have the total identical times that clock shows.

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 count of
// identical times the clock shows
int countIdentical(int hours, int minutes)
{

    // To store the count of identical times
    // Initialized to 1 because of 0:0
    int i, count = 1;

    // For single digit hour
    for (i = 1; i <= 9 && i < hours; i++) {

        // Single digit minute
        if (i < minutes)
            count++;

        // Double digit minutes
        if ((i * 10 + i) < minutes)
            count++;
    }

    // For double digit hours
    for (i = 11; i <= 99 && i < hours; i = i + 11) {

        // Single digit minute
        if ((i % 10) < minutes)
            count++;

        // Double digit minutes
        if (i < minutes)
            count++;
    }

    // Return the required count
    return count;
}

// Driver code
int main()
{
    int hours = 24;
    int minutes = 60;

      // Function Call
    cout << countIdentical(hours, minutes);

    return 0;
}

Java

// Java implementation of the above approach
class GFG {

    // Function to return the count of
    // identical times the clock shows
    static int countIdentical(int hours, int minutes)
    {

        // To store the count of identical times
        // Initialized to 1 because of 0:0
        int i, count = 1;

        // For single digit hour
        for (i = 1; i <= 9 && i < hours; i++) {

            // Single digit minute
            if (i < minutes) {
                count++;
            }

            // Double digit minutes
            if ((i * 10 + i) < minutes) {
                count++;
            }
        }

        // For double digit hours
        for (i = 11; i <= 99 && i < hours; i = i + 11) {

            // Double digit minutes
            if (i < minutes) {
                count++;
            }

            // Single digit minute
            if ((i % 10) < minutes) {
                count++;
            }
        }

        // Return the required count
        return count;
    }

    // Driver code
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        int hours = 24;
        int minutes = 60;

        // Function Call
        System.out.println(countIdentical(hours, minutes));
    }
}
