Given two integers N and D, the task is to find the value of F(N) where the value of F(1) is D, where F(K) is given as: 
 

F(K+1) = F(K) * (Max_{Digit}(F(K)) - Min_{Digit}(F(K)))


Examples: 
 

Input: N = 3, D = 487 
Output: 15584 
Explanation: 
As F(1) = 487, 
F(2) = 487 * (maxDigit(487) – minDigit(487)) = 487 * 4 = 1948 
F(3) = 1948 * (maxDigit(1948) – minDigit(1948)) = 1948 * 8 = 15584
Input: N = 5, D = 487 
Output: 981792 
 


 


Approach: The idea is to compute the value of F(2) to F(N) iteratively with the help of the loop. Also, the maximum and minimum digits in each number can be computed using the help of the loop by dividing the number by 10, Simultaneously taking the modulo to get the digit.
Below is the implementation of the above approach:
 

C++

// C++ implementation to find the value
// of the given function for the value
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to find minimum digit
// in the decimal representation of N
int MIN(int n)
{
    int ans = 11;
 
    // Loop to find the minimum
    // digit in the number
    while (n) {
        ans = min(ans, n % 10);
        n /= 10;
    }
    return ans;
}
 
// Function to find maximum digit
// in the decimal representation of N
int MAX(int n)
{
    int ans = -1;
 
    // Loop to find the maximum
    // digit in the number
    while (n) {
        ans = max(ans, n % 10);
        n /= 10;
    }
    return ans;
}
 
// Function to find the value
// of the given function
void Find_value(int n, int k)
{
    k--;
    int x = 0;
    int y = 0;
 
    // Loop to compute the values
    // of the given number
    while (k--) {
        x = MIN(n);
        y = MAX(n);
 
        if (y - x == 0)
            break;
        n *= (y - x);
    }
    cout << n;
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int N = 487, D = 5;
 
    // Function Call
    Find_value(N, D);
 
    return 0;
}

    while (n > 0)
    {
        ans = Math.min(ans, n % 10);
        n /= 10;
    }
    return ans;
}

    {

        y = MAX(n);
 
        if (y - x == 0)
            break;
        n *= (y - x);
    }
    System.out.print(n);
