Number of substrings divisible by 4 in a string of integers

Given a string consisting of integers 0 to 9. The task is to count the number of substrings which when converted into integer are divisible by 4. Substring may contain leading zeroes.

Examples: 

Input : "124"
Output : 4
Substrings divisible by 4 are  "12", "4", "24", "124" .

Input : "04"
Output : 3
Substring divisible by 4 are "0", "4", "04" .

Brute Force Approach:

  1. Initialize a count variable to 0.
  2. Generate all possible substrings of the given string using nested loops.
  3. Convert each substring to an integer using the stoi() function.
  4. Check if the integer is divisible by 4 using the % operator.
  5. If it is, then increment the count.
  6. Return the count.

Below is the implementation of above approach . 




#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
int countDivisbleby4(char s[])
{
    int n = strlen(s);
    int count = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        for (int j = 1; j <= n - i; j++) {
            string sub = string(s).substr(i, j);
            int num = stoi(sub);
            if (num % 4 == 0) {
                count++;
            }
        }
    }
    return count;
}
 
int main()
{
    char s[] = "04";
    cout << countDivisbleby4(s);
    return 0;
}




public class SubstringDivisibleBy4 {
    public static int countDivisibleby4(String s) {
        int n = s.length();
        int count = 0;
        // Loop through all possible substrings of s
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
            for (int j = 1; j <= n - i; j++) {
                // Get the substring and convert it to an integer
                String sub = s.substring(i, i + j);
                try {
                    int num = Integer.parseInt(sub);
                    // If the substring is divisible by 4, increment the count
                    if (num % 4 == 0) {
                        count++;
                    }
                } catch (NumberFormatException e) {
                    // If the substring is not a valid integer, skip it
                    continue;
                }
            }
        }
        return count;
    }
 
    // Test the function with a sample input
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String s = "04";
        System.out.println(countDivisibleby4(s));
    }
}




# Function to count the number of substrings that are divisible by 4
def countDivisbleby4(s):
    n = len(s)
    count = 0
    # Loop through all possible substrings of s
    for i in range(n):
        for j in range(1, n - i + 1):
            # Get the substring and convert it to an integer
            sub = s[i:i+j]
            num = int(sub)
            # If the substring is divisible by 4, increment the count
            if num % 4 == 0:
                count += 1
    return count
 
 
# Test the function with a sample input
s = "04"
print(countDivisbleby4(s))




using System;
 
class Program
{
    static int CountDivisibleBy4(string s)
    {
        int n = s.Length;
        int count = 0;
      // Loop through all possible substrings of s
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
        {
            for (int j = 1; j <= n - i; j++)
            {
               // Get the substring and convert it to an integer
                string sub = s.Substring(i, j);
                int num = int.Parse(sub);
              // If the substring is divisible by 4, increment the count
                if (num % 4 == 0)
                {
                    count++;
                }
            }
        }
        return count;
    }

function countDivisibleby4(s) {
  let n = s.length;
  let count = 0;
  for (let i = 0; i < n; i++) {
    for (let j = 1; j <= n - i; j++) {
      let sub = s.substring(i, i + j);

Efficient solution : A number is divisible by 4 if its last two digits are divisible by 4 and single-digit numbers divisible by 4 are 4, 8 and 0. So, to calculate the number of substrings divisible by 4 we first count number of 0’s, 4’s and 8’s in the string. Then, we make all pairs of two consecutive characters and convert it into an integer. After converting it into integer we check that whether it is divisible by 4 or not. If it is divisible by 4 then all such substring ending with this last two characters are divisible by 4. Now, the number of such substrings are basically the index of 1st character of pair. To make it more clear, consider string “14532465” then possible pairs are “14”, “45”, “53”, “32”, “24”, “46”, “65” . In these pairs only “32” and “24” when converted into integer are divisible by 4. Then, substrings ( length >= 2 ) divisible by 4 must end with either “32” or “24” So, number of substrings ending with “32” are “14532”, “4532”, “532”, “32” i.e 4 and index of ‘3’ is also 4 . Similarly, the number of substrings ending with “24” is 5.

Thus we get an O(n) solution. Below is the implementation of this approach .

{
    int n = strlen(s);

    // 0's, 4's and 8's present in the string
    int count = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i)
    if (s[i] == '4' || s[i] == '8' || s[i] == '0')
            count++ ;
     
    // In second loop we will convert pairs
    // of two consecutive characters into
    // integer and store it in variable h .
    // Then we check whether h is divisible by 4
