Count of substrings that start and end with 1 in given Binary String

Given a binary string, count the number of substrings that start and end with 1. 

Examples:

Input: “00100101”
Output: 3
Explanation: three substrings are “1001”, “100101” and “101”

Input: “1001”
Output: 1
Explanation: one substring “1001”

Count of substrings that start and end with 1 in given Binary String using Nested Loop:

A Simple Solution is to run two loops. Outer loops pick every 1 as a starting point and the inner loop searches for ending 1 and increments count whenever it finds 1.

Below is the implementation of above approach:

C++

// A simple C++ program to count number of
// substrings starting and ending with 1
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int countSubStr(char str[])
{
    int res = 0; // Initialize result

    // Pick a starting point
    for (int i = 0; str[i] != '\0'; i++) {
        if (str[i] == '1') {
            // Search for all possible ending point
            for (int j = i + 1; str[j] != '\0'; j++)
                if (str[j] == '1')
                    res++;
        }
    }
    return res;
}

// Driver program to test above function
int main()
{
    char str[] = "00100101";
    cout << countSubStr(str);
    return 0;
}

Java

// A simple C++ program to count number of
// substrings starting and ending with 1

class CountSubString {
    int countSubStr(char str[], int n)
    {
        int res = 0; // Initialize result

        // Pick a starting point
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
            if (str[i] == '1') {
                // Search for all possible ending point
                for (int j = i + 1; j < n; j++) {
                    if (str[j] == '1')
                        res++;
                }
            }
        }
        return res;
    }

    // Driver program to test the above function
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        CountSubString count = new CountSubString();
        String string = "00100101";
        char str[] = string.toCharArray();
        int n = str.length;
        System.out.println(count.countSubStr(str, n));
    }
}

                    res = res + 1

Count of substrings that start and end with 1 in a given Binary String using Subarray count:

We know that if count of 1’s is m, then there will be m * (m – 1) / 2 possible subarrays.

• Count the number of 1’s. Let the count of 1’s be m. 
• Return m(m-1)/2

Count of substrings that start and end with 1 in given Binary String using Recursion:

This approach is the same as an above approach but here to calculate the count of 1s we use recursion.

Follow the steps to solve the problem:

• Count the number of 1’s using recursion. Let the count of 1’s be m. 
• Return m(m-1)/2 

Below is the implementation of above approach:

C++

// A O(n) C++ program to count number of
// substrings starting and ending with 1
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

int helper(int n, char str[], int i)
{
    // if 'i' is on the last index
    if (i == n - 1)
        return (str[i] == '1') ? 1 : 0;

    // if current char is 1
    // add 1 to the answer
    if (str[i] == '1')
        return 1 + helper(n, str, i + 1);

    // if it is zero
    else
        return helper(n, str, i + 1);
}

int countSubStr(char str[])
{
    int n = strlen(str);
    // counting the number of 1's in the string
    int count = helper(n, str, 0);

    // return the number of combinations
    return (count * (count - 1)) / 2;
}

// Driver program to test above function
int main()
{
    char str[] = "00100101";
    cout << countSubStr(str);
    return 0;
}
