1215. Stepping Numbers 🔒

中文文档

Description

A stepping number is an integer such that all of its adjacent digits have an absolute difference of exactly 1.

• For example, 321 is a stepping number while 421 is not.

Given two integers low and high, return a sorted list of all the stepping numbers in the inclusive range [low, high].

 

Example 1:

Input: low = 0, high = 21
Output: [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,12,21]

Example 2:

Input: low = 10, high = 15
Output: [10,12]

 

Constraints:

• 0 <= low <= high <= 2 * 109

Solutions

Solution 1: BFS

First, if $low$ is $0$, we need to add $0$ to the answer.

Next, we create a queue $q$ and add $1 \sim 9$ to the queue. Then, we repeatedly take out elements from the queue. Let the current element be $v$. If $v$ is greater than $high$, we stop searching. If $v$ is in the range $[low, high]$, we add $v$ to the answer. Then, we need to record the last digit of $v$ as $x$. If $x \gt 0$, we add $v \times 10 + x - 1$ to the queue. If $x \lt 9$, we add $v \times 10 + x + 1$ to the queue. Repeat the above steps until the queue is empty.

The time complexity is $O(10 \times 2^{\log M})$, and the space complexity is $O(2^{\log M})$, where $M$ is the number of digits in $high$.

Python3

class Solution:
    def countSteppingNumbers(self, low: int, high: int) -> List[int]:
        ans = []
        if low == 0:
            ans.append(0)
        q = deque(range(1, 10))
        while q:
            v = q.popleft()
            if v > high:
                break
            if v >= low:
                ans.append(v)
            x = v % 10
            if x:
                q.append(v * 10 + x - 1)
            if x < 9:
                q.append(v * 10 + x + 1)
