Sum of all substrings of a string representing a number | Set 1

Difficulty Level : Medium
Last Updated : 13 Sep, 2021

Given an integer represented as a string, we need to get the sum of all possible substrings of this string.

Examples:

Input  : num = “1234”
Output : 1670
Sum = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 12 + 23 +
       34 + 123 + 234 + 1234 
    = 1670

Input  : num = “421”
Output : 491
Sum = 4 + 2 + 1 + 42 + 21 + 421 = 491

We can solve this problem by using dynamic programming. We can write a summation of all substrings on basis of the digit at which they are ending in that case,
Sum of all substrings = sumofdigit[0] + sumofdigit[1] + sumofdigit[2] … + sumofdigit[n-1] where n is length of string.
Where sumofdigit[i] stores the sum of all substring ending at ith index digit, in the above example,

Example : num = "1234"
sumofdigit[0] = 1 = 1
sumofdigit[1] = 2 + 12  = 14
sumofdigit[2] = 3 + 23  + 123 = 149
sumofdigit[3] = 4 + 34  + 234 + 1234  = 1506
Result = 1670

Now we can get the relation between sumofdigit values and can solve the question iteratively. Each sumofdigit can be represented in terms of previous value as shown below,

For above example,
sumofdigit[3] = 4 + 34 + 234 + 1234
           = 4 + 30 + 4 + 230 + 4 + 1230 + 4
           = 4*4 + 10*(3 + 23 +123)
           = 4*4 + 10*(sumofdigit[2])
In general, 
sumofdigit[i]  =  (i+1)*num[i] + 10*sumofdigit[i-1]

Using the above relation we can solve the problem in linear time. In the below code a complete array is taken to store sumofdigit, as each sumofdigit value requires just the previous value, we can solve this problem without allocating the complete array also.

C++

// C++ program to print sum of all substring of
// a number represented as a string
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Utility method to convert character digit to
// integer digit
int toDigit(char ch)
{
    return (ch - '0');
}
 
// Returns sum of all substring of num
int sumOfSubstrings(string num)
{
    int n = num.length();
 
    // allocate memory equal to length of string
    int sumofdigit[n];
 
    // initialize first value with first digit
    sumofdigit[0] = toDigit(num[0]);
    int res = sumofdigit[0];
 
    // loop over all digits of string
    for (int i = 1; i < n; i++) {
        int numi = toDigit(num[i]);
 
        // update each sumofdigit from previous value
        sumofdigit[i] = (i + 1) * numi + 10 * sumofdigit[i - 1];
 
        // add current value to the result
        res += sumofdigit[i];
    }
 
    return res;

        // allocate memory equal to length of string
        int sumofdigit[] = new int[n];
 
        // initialize first value with first digit
        sumofdigit[0] = num.charAt(0) - '0';
        int res = sumofdigit[0];
 
        // loop over all digits of string
        for (int i = 1; i < n; i++) {
            int numi = num.charAt(i) - '0';
 
            // update each sumofdigit from previous value
            sumofdigit[i] = (i + 1) * numi + 10 * sumofdigit[i - 1];

O(1) space approach
The approach is the same as described above. What we have observed that at the current index we are dependent on the current sum + previous index sum so instead of storing in a dp array we can store it in two variables current and prev.
