Find the last digit of given series

Difficulty Level : Easy
Last Updated : 09 Jan, 2019

Given an integer n, find the last digit of this sequence, $\displaystyle S =\sum_{i=0,\ 2^i\le n}^\infty \sum_{j=0}^n 2^{2^i + 2j}$
i.e. Summation of F(n) from i = 0 to 2ⁱ ≤ n, where F(n) is the summation of 2^2ⁱ+2j Where j varies from 0 to n. n can varies from 0 to 10¹⁷
Examples:

Input: 2
Output: 6
Explanation:
After computing the above expression, the value
obtained is 216. Hence the last digit is 6.

Input: 3
Output: 0

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

A Naive approach is to run two loops, one for ‘i’ and other for ‘j’ and compute the value after taking (modulo 10) with every calculated value. But this approach will definitely time out for large value of n.

An efficient approach is to expand the above expression in a general form that can easily be calculated.

$\displaystyle S =\sum_{i=0,\ 2^i\le n}^\infty \sum_{j=0}^n 2^{2^i + 2j}$

$\implies \displaystyle \sum_{i=0,\ 2^i\le n}^\infty \sum_{j=0}^n 2^{2^i}\cdot 2^{2j}$

$\implies\displaystyle\sum_{i=0,\ 2^i\le n}^\infty 2^{2^i} \cdot \sum_{j=0}^n 2^{2j}$

$\implies\displaystyle\sum_{i=0,\ 2^i\le n}^\infty 2^{2^i} \cdot \sum_{j=0}^n 4^j$

First expression $\sum_{i=0,\ 2^i\le n}^\infty 2^{2^i}$ can be calculated directly by iterating a loop for all values of ‘i’ till 2ⁱ ≤ n.
Second expression $\sum_{j=0}^n 4^j$ can be calculated easily by using Geometric series formula i.e.,
$\sum_{j=0}^n r^k = \dfrac{r^{n+1} - 1}{r-1}$

Final answer will be the product of both these calculated result in both the steps. But after performing any calculation part of these expression, we have to take modulo with 10 to avoid overflow.
