Count number of trailing zeros in product of array

Given a array size of n, we need to find the total number of zeros in the product of array.

Examples: 

Input  : a[] = {100, 20, 40, 25, 4} 
Output : 6
Product is 100 * 20 * 40 * 25 * 4
which is 8000000 and has 6 trailing 0s.

Input  : a[] = {10, 100, 20, 30, 25, 4, 
                43, 25, 50, 90, 12, 80}
Output : 13

A simple solution is simply multiply and count trailing 0s in product. This solution may cause integer overflow. A better solution is based on the fact that zeros are formed by a combination of 2 and 5. Hence the number of zeros will depend on the number of pairs of 2’s and 5’s that can be formed. 
Ex.: 8 * 3 * 5 * 23 * 17 * 25 * 4 * 11 
23 * 31 * 51 * 231 * 171 * 52 * 22 * 111 

In this example there are 5 twos and 3 fives. Hence, we shall be able to form only 3 pairs of (2*5). Hence will be 3 Zeros in the product. 

Implementation:

C++




// CPP program for count total zero in product of array
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
// Returns count of zeros in product of array
int countZeros(int a[], int n)
{
    int count2 = 0, count5 = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
 
        // count number of 2s in each element
        while (a[i] % 2 == 0) {
            a[i] = a[i] / 2;
            count2++;
        }
 
        // count number of 5s in each element
        while (a[i] % 5 == 0) {
            a[i] = a[i] / 5;
            count5++;
        }
    }
    // return the minimum
    return (count2 < count5) ? count2 : count5;
}
 
// Driven Program
int main()
{
    int a[] = { 10, 100, 20, 30, 50, 90, 12, 80 };
    int n = sizeof(a) / sizeof(a[0]);
    cout << countZeros(a, n);
    return 0;
}

Output

Time Complexity: O(n * (log2m + log5m)), where n is the size of the given array.
Auxiliary Space: O(1), no extra space is required, so it is a constant.
