Given a number N, the task is to check whether it is fascinating or not.
Fascinating Number: When a number( 3 digits or more ) is multiplied by 2 and 3, and when both these products are concatenated with the original number, then it results in all digits from 1 to 9 present exactly once. There could be any number of zeros and are ignored.
Examples:
Input: 192
Output: Yes
After multiplication with 2 and 3, and concatenating with original number, resultant number is 192384576 which contains all digits from 1 to 9.
Input: 853
Output: No
After multiplication with 2 and 3, and concatenating with original number, the resultant number is 85317062559. In this, number 4 is missing and the number 5 has appeared multiple times.
Recommended: Please solve it on “PRACTICE ” first, before moving on to the solution.
Approach:
- Check if the given number has three digits or more. If not, print No.
- Else, Multiply the given number with 2 and 3.
- Concatenate these products with the given number to form a string.
- Traverse this string, keep the frequency count of the digits.
- Print No if any digit is missing or has appeared multiple times.
- Else, print Yes.
Below is the implementation of above approach:
// C++ program to implement
// fascinating number
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
// function to check if number
// is fascinating or not
bool isFascinating(int num)
{
// frequency count array
// using 1 indexing
int freq[10] = {0};
// obtaining the resultant number
// using string concatenation
string val = "" + to_string(num) +
to_string(num * 2) +
to_string(num * 3);
// Traversing the string
// character by character
for (int i = 0; i < val.length(); i++)
{
// gives integer value of
// a character digit
int digit = val[i] - '0';
// To check if any digit has
// appeared multiple times
if (freq[digit] and digit != 0 > 0)
return false;
else
freq[digit]++;
}
// Traversing through freq array to
// check if any digit was missing
for (int i = 1; i < 10; i++)
{
if (freq[i] == 0)
return false;
}
return true;
}
// Driver code
int main()
{
// Input number
int num = 192;
// Not a valid number
if (num < 100)
cout << "No" << endl;
else
{
// Calling the function to
// check if input number
// is fascinating or not
bool ans = isFascinating(num);
if (ans)
cout << "Yes";
else
cout << "No";
}
}

Output:
Yes
