1012. Numbers With Repeated Digits

Description

Given an integer n, return the number of positive integers in the range [1, n] that have at least one repeated digit.

 

Example 1:

Input: n = 20
Output: 1
Explanation: The only positive number (<= 20) with at least 1 repeated digit is 11.

Example 2:

Input: n = 100
Output: 10
Explanation: The positive numbers (<= 100) with atleast 1 repeated digit are 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, 99, and 100.

Example 3:

Input: n = 1000
Output: 262

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= n <= 109

Solutions

Solution 1: State Compression + Digit DP

The problem requires counting the number of integers in the range $[1, .., n]$ that have at least one repeated digit. We can approach this by defining a function $f(n)$ that counts the number of integers in the range $[1, .., n]$ with no repeated digits. Then, the answer is $n - f(n)$.

Additionally, we can use a binary number to record the digits that have appeared in the number. For example, if the digits $1$, $2$, and $4$ have appeared, the corresponding binary number is $\underline{1}0\underline{1}\underline{1}0$.

Next, we use memoization to implement digit DP. We start searching from the top, get the number of solutions at the bottom, and return the answers layer by layer until we get the final answer from the starting point.

The basic steps are as follows:

We convert the number $n$ into a string $s$. Next, we design a function $\textit{dfs}(i, \textit{mask}, \textit{lead}, \textit{limit})$, where:

  • The integer $i$ represents the current digit index, starting from $0$.
  • The integer $\textit{mask}$ represents the digits that have appeared so far, using a binary number. The $j$-th bit of $\textit{mask}$ being $1$ indicates that digit $j$ has appeared, while $0$ indicates it has not.
  • The boolean $\textit{lead}$ indicates whether the current number contains only leading zeros.
  • The boolean $\textit{limit}$ indicates whether the current position is restricted by the upper bound.

The function executes as follows:

If $i$ is greater than or equal to $m$, it means we have processed all digits. If $\textit{lead}$ is true, it means the current number is a leading zero, and we should return $0$. Otherwise, we should return $1$.

Otherwise, we calculate the upper bound $\textit{up}$. If $\textit{limit}$ is true, then $\textit{up}$ is the digit corresponding to $s[i]$. Otherwise, $\textit{up}$ is $9$.

Then, we enumerate the current digit $j$ in the range $[0, \textit{up}]$. If $j$ is $0$ and $\textit{lead}$ is true, we recursively calculate $\textit{dfs}(i + 1, \textit{mask}, \text{true}, \textit{limit} \wedge j = \textit{up})$. Otherwise, if the $j$-th bit of $\textit{mask}$ is $0$, we recursively calculate $\textit{dfs}(i + 1, \textit{mask} \,|\, 2^j, \text{false}, \textit{limit} \wedge j = \textit{up})$. We accumulate all the results as the answer.

The answer is $n - \textit{dfs}(0, 0, \text{true}, \text{true})$.

The time complexity is $O(\log n \times 2^D \times D)$, and the space complexity is $O(\log n \times 2^D)$. Here, $D = 10$.
