Find the average of k digits from the beginning and l digits from the end of the given number

Last Updated : 26 Mar, 2021

Given three integers N, K and L. The task is to find the average of the first K digits and the last L digits of the given number N without any digit overlapping.
Examples:

Input: N = 123456, K = 2, L = 3
Output: 3.0
Sum of first K digits will be 1 + 2 = 3
Sum of last L digits will be 4 + 5 + 6 = 15
Average = (3 + 15) / (2 + 3) = 18 / 5 = 3
Input: N = 456966, K = 1, L = 1
Output: 5.0

Approach: If the count of digits in n is less than (K + L) then it isn’t possible to find the average without digits overlapping and print -1 in that case. If that’s not the case, find the sum of the last L digits of N and store it in a variable say sum1 then find the sum of the first K digits of N and store it in sum2. Now, print the average as (sum1 + sum2) / (K + L).
Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// implementation of the approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to return the count
// of digits in num
int countDigits(int num)
{
    int cnt = 0;
    while (num > 0)
    {
        cnt++;
        num /= 10;
    }
    return cnt;
}
 
// Function to return the sum
// of first n digits of num
int sumFromStart(int num, int n, int rem)
{
 
    // Remove the unnecessary digits
    num /= ((int)pow(10, rem));
 
    int sum = 0;
    while (num > 0)
    {
        sum += (num % 10);
        num /= 10;
    }
    return sum;
}
 
// Function to return the sum
// of the last n digits of num
int sumFromEnd(int num, int n)
{
    int sum = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
    {
        sum += (num % 10);
        num /= 10;
    }
    return sum;
}
 
float getAverage(int n, int k, int l)
{
 
    // If the average can't be calculated without
    // using the same digit more than once
    int totalDigits = countDigits(n);
    if (totalDigits < (k + l))
        return -1;
 
    // Sum of the last l digits of n
    int sum1 = sumFromEnd(n, l);
 
    // Sum of the first k digits of n
    // (totalDigits - k) must be removed from the
    // end of the number to get the remaining
    // k digits from the beginning
    int sum2 = sumFromStart(n, k, totalDigits - k);
 
    // Return the average
    return ((float)(sum1 + sum2) / 
            (float)(k + l));
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int n = 123456, k = 2, l = 3;
    cout << getAverage(n, k, l);
 
    return 0;
}
