Given a large positive number as string, count all rotations of the given number which are divisible by 4. 

Examples: 

Input: 8
Output: 1

Input: 20
Output: 1
Rotation: 20 is divisible by 4
          02 is not divisible by 4

Input : 13502
Output : 0
No rotation is divisible by 4

Input : 43292816
Output : 5
5 rotations are : 43292816, 16432928, 81643292
                  92816432, 32928164 

For large numbers it is difficult to rotate and divide each number by 4. Therefore, ‘divisibility by 4’ property is used which says that a number is divisible by 4 if the last 2 digits of the number is divisible by 4. Here we do not actually rotate the number and check last 2 digits for divisibility, instead we count consecutive pairs (in circular way) which are divisible by 4. 

Illustration:  

Consider a number 928160
Its rotations are 928160, 092816, 609281, 160928, 
    816092, 281609.
Now form pairs from the original number 928160
as mentioned in the approach.
Pairs: (9,2), (2,8), (8,1), (1,6), 
         (6,0), (0,9)
We can observe that the 2-digit number formed by the these 
pairs, i.e., 92, 28, 81, 16, 60, 09, are present in the last
2 digits of some rotation.
Thus, checking divisibility of these pairs gives the required
number of rotations. 

Note: A single digit number can directly
be checked for divisibility.

Below is the implementation of the approach. 

Python3




# Python3 program to count
# all rotation divisible
# by 4.
 
# Returns count of all
# rotations divisible
# by 4
def countRotations(n) :
 
    l = len(n)
 
    # For single digit number
    if (l == 1) :
        oneDigit = (int)(n[0])
         
        if (oneDigit % 4 == 0) :
            return 1
        return 0
     
     
    # At-least 2 digit number
    # (considering all pairs)
    count = 0
    for i in range(0, l - 1) :
        twoDigit = (int)(n[i]) * 10 + (int)(n[i + 1])
         
        if (twoDigit % 4 == 0) :
            count = count + 1
             
    # Considering the number
    # formed by the pair of
    # last digit and 1st digit
    twoDigit = (int)(n[l - 1]) * 10 + (int)(n[0])
    if (twoDigit % 4 == 0) :
        count = count + 1
 
    return count
 
# Driver program
n = "4834"
print("Rotations: " ,
    countRotations(n))
 
# This code is contributed by Nikita tiwari.


Output: 

Rotations: 2

Time Complexity : O(n) where n is number of digits in input number.

Auxiliary Space: O(1)
