Leetcode 728. Self Dividing Numbers

Problem Explanation

The problem involves finding all the self-dividing numbers within a given range. A self dividing number is a number that is divisible by every digit it contains. For instance, considering the number 128, it is a self-dividing number as 128 % 1 == 0, 128 % 2 == 0, and 128 % 8 == 0.

Note that a self-dividing number is not allowed to contain the digit zero. Given a lower and upper number bound, the task is to find and output a list of every possible self dividing number, including the bounds if possible.

Example Walkthrough

Let's consider an example to understand the problem better.

Input: left = 1 , right = 22

The numbers from 1 to 22 are [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22]

Checking each number, the self-dividing numbers are [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,11,12,15,22]

So, the output would be [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 15, 22]

Solution Approach

The solution involves a simple iteration from the lower bound to the higher bound of the given range. For each number, it checks if it's a self-dividing number. Then, this process is repeated until we have assessed every number in the range. If a number is self-dividing, it is included in the output list.

These solutions involve creating a helper function to determine if a number is a self-dividing number then, in the main function, iterating from the left bound to the right, adding every self-dividing number to the list of results.

It begins by defining a boolean method isSelfDividing that takes an integer num as an argument. It returns false if n is not a self-dividing number.

The algorithm for isSelfDividing works by first converting the integer num to a string using the built-in conversion methods in each programming language. Then it iterates over each character in the string.

If any character in the string is a '0', or if the input number is not divisible by the integer value of the character, then the number is not self-dividing, and the function returns false.

Otherwise, if all characters in the string pass the check, the function returns true, indicating that the number is self-dividing.

Back in the main function, a loop is initiated starting from the lower bound to the upper bound where the helper function is invoked on each iteration. If the number is a self-dividing number, it's added to the list, and finally, the list of all self-dividing numbers is returned.

This solution has a time complexity of O(D), where D is the number of integers in the range from lower bound to upper bound, and space complexity is also O(D), D being the number of self-dividing numbers.
