Given two integers A and B, the task is to calculate the number of pairs (a, b) such that 1 ? a ? A, 1 ? b ? B and the equation (a * b) + a + b = concat(a, b) is true where conc(a, b) is the concatenation of a and b (for example, conc(12, 23) = 1223, conc(100, 11) = 10011). Note that a and b should not contain any leading zeroes.

Examples: 

Input: A = 1, B = 12 
Output:
There exists only one pair (1, 9) satisfying 
the equation ((1 * 9) + 1 + 9 = 19)

Input: A = 2, B = 8 
Output:
There doesn’t exist any pair satisfying the equation. 
 

Approach: It can be observed that the above (a * b + a + b = conc(a, b)) will only be satisfied when the digits of an integer ? b contains only 9. Simply, calculate the number of digits (? b) containing only 9 and multiply with the integer a.

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 number of
// pairs satisfying the equation
int countPair(int a, int b)
{
    // Converting integer b to string
    // by using to_string function
    string s = to_string(b);
 
    // Loop to check if all the digits
    // of b are 9 or not
    int i;
    for (i = 0; i < s.length(); i++) {
 
        // If '9' doesn't appear
        // then break the loop
        if (s[i] != '9')
            break;
    }
 
    int result;
 
    // If all the digits of b contain 9
    // then multiply a with string length
    // else multiply a with string length - 1
    if (i == s.length())
        result = a * s.length();
    else
        result = a * (s.length() - 1);
 
    // Return the number of pairs
    return result;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int a = 5, b = 101;
 
    cout << countPair(a, b);
 
    return 0;
}


Java




// Java implementation of the approach
class GFG
{
 
// Function to return the number of
// pairs satisfying the equation
static int countPair(int a, int b)
{
    // Converting integer b to String
    // by using to_String function
    String s = String.valueOf(b);
 
    // Loop to check if all the digits
    // of b are 9 or not
    int i;
    for (i = 0; i < s.length(); i++)
    {
 
        // If '9' doesn't appear
        // then break the loop
        if (s.charAt(i) != '9')
            break;
    }
 
    int result;
 
    // If all the digits of b contain 9
    // then multiply a with String length
    // else multiply a with String length - 1
    if (i == s.length())
        result = a * s.length();
    else
        result = a * (s.length() - 1);
 
    // Return the number of pairs
    return result;
}
 
// Driver code
public static void main(String[] args)
{
    int a = 5, b = 101;
 
    System.out.print(countPair(a, b));
}
}
