Number of sub-strings in a given binary string divisible by 2

Given binary string str of length N, the task is to find the count of substrings of str which are divisible by 2. Leading zeros in a substring are allowed.

Examples: 



Input: str = “101” 
Output:
“0” and “10” are the only substrings 
which are divisible by 2.

Input: str = “10010” 
Output: 10 



Naive approach: A naive approach will be to generate all possible substrings and check if they are divisible by 2. The time complexity for this will be O(N3).

Efficient approach: It can be observed that any binary number is divisible by 2 only if it ends with a 0. Now, the task is to just count the number of substrings ending with 0. So, for every index i such that str[i] = ‘0’, find the number of substrings ending at i. This value is equal to (i + 1) (0-based indexing). Thus, the final answer will be equal to the summation of (i + 1) for all i such that str[i] = ‘0’.

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 the required substrings
int countSubStr(string str, int len)
{
    // To store the final answer
    int ans = 0;
 
    // Loop to find the answer
    for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
 
        // Condition to update the answer
        if (str[i] == '0')
            ans += (i + 1);
    }
 
    return ans;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    string str = "10010";
    int len = str.length();
 
    cout << countSubStr(str, len);
 
    return 0;
}




// Java implementation of the approach
class GFG
{
     
    // Function to return the count
    // of the required substrings
    static int countSubStr(String str, int len)
    {
        // To store the final answer
        int ans = 0;
     
        // Loop to find the answer
        for (int i = 0; i < len; i++)
        {
     
            // Condition to update the answer
            if (str.charAt(i) == '0')
                ans += (i + 1);
        }
        return ans;
    }
     
    // Driver code
    public static void main (String[] args)
    {
        String str = "10010";
        int len = str.length();
     
        System.out.println(countSubStr(str, len));
    }
}

def countSubStr(strr, lenn):

    ans = 0
 
    # Loop to find the answer
    for i in range(lenn):
 
        # Condition to update the answer
        if (strr[i] == '0'):
            ans += (i + 1)
 
    return ans
 
# Driver code
strr = "10010"
lenn = len(strr)

                ans += (i + 1);
        }
        return ans;
    }
     
    // Driver code

    {

        int len = str.Length;

    // Loop to find the answer

    return ans;
}
 
// Driver code
var str = "10010";
var len = str.length;
document.write( countSubStr(str, len));
 
</script>

Output: 
10

 

Time Complexity: O(N), N = String length

Auxiliary Space: O(1)
