Given a string consisting of digits 0-9, count the number of subsequences in it divisible by m.
Examples: 
 

Input  : str = "1234", n = 4
Output : 4
The subsequences 4, 12, 24 and 124 are
divisible by 4.

Input : str = "330", n = 6
Output : 4
The subsequences 30, 30, 330 and 0 are
divisible by n.
Input : str = "676", n = 6
Output : 3
The subsequences 6, 6 and 66

 

This problem can be recursively defined. Let the remainder of a string with value x be ‘r’ when divided by n. Adding one more character to this string changes its remainder to (r*10 + newdigit) % n. For every new character, we have two choices, either add it in all current subsequences or ignore it. Thus, we have an optimal substructure. The following shows the brute force version of this:
 

string str = "330";
int n = 6
// idx is value of current index in str
// rem is current remainder
int count(int idx, int rem)
{
// If last character reached
if (idx == n)
return (rem == 0)? 1 : 0;
int ans = 0;
// we exclude it, thus remainder
// remains the same
ans += count(idx+1, rem);
// we include it and thus new remainder
ans += count(idx+1, (rem*10 + str[idx]-'0')%n);
return ans;
}

The above recursive solution has overlapping subproblems as shown in below recursion tree.
 

          input string = "330"
(0,0) ===> at 0th index with 0 remainder
(exclude 0th / (include 0th character)
character) /
(1,0) (1,3) ======> at index 1 with 3 as
(E)/ (I) /(E) the current remainder
(2,0) (2,3) (2,3)
|-------|
These two subproblems overlap

Thus, we can apply Dynamic Programming. Below is the implementation.

    // division by n can leave only n remainder
    // [0..n-1]. dp[i][j] indicates number of
    // subsequences in string [0..i] which leaves
    // remainder j after division by n.
    int dp[len][n];
    memset(dp, 0, sizeof(dp));
 
    // Filling value for first digit in str
    dp[0][(str[0]-'0')%n]++;
 
    for (int i=1; i<len; i++)
    {
        // start a new subsequence with index i
        dp[i][(str[i]-'0')%n]++;
 
        for (int j=0; j<n; j++)

Time Complexity: O(len * n) 
Auxiliary Space : O(len * n)

Efficient approach : Space optimization

In previous approach the dp[i][j] is depend upon the current and previous row of 2D matrix. So to optimize space we use two vectors temp and dp that keep track of current and previous row of DP.

Implementation Steps:

  • The countDivisibleSubseq function counts the number of subsequences in a given string str that are divisible by a given number n.
  • It initializes an array dp of size n to store counts.
  • It iterates through each digit of the string and updates the counts in dp based on remainders.
  • At each iteration, it considers the current digit and the previous counts to calculate the updated counts.
  • Finally, it returns the count of subsequences divisible by n stored in dp[0].

Implementation:

C++




#include<bits/stdc++.h>

    int len = str.length();

    dp[(str[0]-'0')%n]++; // Increment the count of remainder of first digit by n
 
    for (int i=1; i<len; i++)
    {
        int temp[n];
        memset(temp, 0, sizeof(temp));
 
        temp[(str[i]-'0')%n]++; // Increment the count of remainder of current digit by n
 
        for (int j=0; j<n; j++)
        {
            temp[j] += dp[j]; // Carry over the counts from previous digit
 
            temp[(j*10 + (str[i]-'0'))%n] += dp[j]; // Update the count with the new remainder formed by appending the current digit
        }
 
        for (int j=0; j<n; j++)
        {
            dp[j] = temp[j]; // Copy the updated counts from temp back to dp for the next iteration
