Given an integer N, the task is to find all the self-descriptive numbers from 1 to N

A self-descriptive number is an integer n in given base b is b digits long in which each digit at position p (the most significant digit being at position 0 and the least significant at position b – 1) counts how many times a digit p is in n

For example in base 10, 6210001000 is a self descriptive number as there are six 0s, two 1s, one 2 and one 6.
Explanation : 
It is 10 digit number in base 10. 
It has 6 at the position 0 and there are six 0s in 6210001000. 
It has 2 at the position 1 and there are two 1s in 6210001000. 
It has 1 at the position 2 and there is one 2s in 6210001000. 
It has 0 at the position 3 and there are zero 3s in 6210001000. 
It has 0 at the position 4 and there are zero 4s in 6210001000. 
It has 0 at the position 5 and there are zero 5s in 6210001000. 
It has 1 at the position 6 and there is one 6 in 6210001000. 
It has 0 at the position 7 and there are zero 7s in 6210001000. 
It has 0 at the position 8 and there are zero 8s in 6210001000. 
It has 0 at the position 9 and there are zero 9s in 6210001000.

Examples:

Input: N = 10000
Output: 1210 2020
Explanation: From 1 to N only these two numbers are the self-descriptive numbers

Input: N = 10
Output: 
Explanation: There is no self descriptive number in range [1, 10]

 

Here is a program to print all self-descriptive numbers below 100000000. In the below program we have just ignored one fact about the self-descriptive number that it should have as many number of digits as much the base is given.

Description of Program : 
1 . Firstly all the digits get extracted from the outer loop and are stored in a variable b in each iteration. 
2 . Then in the inner loop there is a count on how many times number i (this i is ith index of outer loop) is present in the string. 
3 . Finally that count is compared with the digit present at the ith index stored in variable b. 

C++




// C++ program to print

{
    // converting the integer
    // num to string
    string s = to_string(num);
    for (int i = 0;
             i < s.size(); i++)
    {
 
        // Extracting each digit
        // one by one from the
        // string
        char temp_char = s.at(i);
 
        // converting the string
        // (digit) into integer b
        // variable stores the digit

        int b = temp_char - '0';
 
        // counting how many

        // digit occur in the

        int count = 0;

Time Complexity: O( N*len(N)*len(N) )
Auxiliary Space: O(1)

Efficient Approach: The time in above approach can be reduced by storing frequency of each digit in a 10 length array and then checking it consecutively with the corresponding digit.
