Self Dividing Numbers

An easy problem to finish the week, from LeetCode: https://leetcode.com/problems/self-dividing-numbers/description/:

A self-dividing number is a number that is divisible by every digit it contains.
For example, 128 is a self-dividing number because 128 % 1 == 0, 128 % 2 == 0, and 128 % 8 == 0.
Also, a self-dividing number is not allowed to contain the digit zero.
Given a lower and upper number bound, output a list of every possible self dividing number, including the bounds if possible.
Example 1:
Input: 
left = 1, right = 22
Output: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 15, 22]

Given the low ranges for the input, a simple check across all the digits for each number in the range should do it. The main logic is highlighted in green below. Basically to check whether a given number is self-dividing, go thru its digits (that's the module ten in the code) and if the digit is zero or if it doesn't divide the number, then the number is not self-dividing. Otherwise, it is. Very simple. Code is down below.
Oh, and this happened last week, at The Crocodile in Seattle! Hope you enjoy!!! Marcelo



public class Solution
{
public IList<int> SelfDividingNumbers(int left, int right)
{
List<int> retVal = new List<int>();

for (int i = left; i <= right; i++)
if (IsSelfDividingNumber(i)) retVal.Add(i);

return retVal;
}

private bool IsSelfDividingNumber(int n)
{
int temp = n;
while (temp > 0)
{
int d = temp % 10;
if (d == 0 || n % d != 0) return false;
temp /= 10;
}

return true;
}
}

  1. I also decided to not overthink this problem and ended up with pretty much identical solution:

    class Solution {
    private:
    bool selfDividing(int number) {
    for (int tmp = number; tmp > 0; tmp /= 10) {
    int digit = tmp % 10;
    if (digit == 0 || number % digit != 0) return false;
    }
    return true;
    }
    public:
    vector selfDividingNumbers(int left, int right) {
    vector numbers;
    for (int number = left; number <= right; number += 1) {
    if (selfDividing(number)) numbers.push_back(number);
    }
    return numbers;
    }
    };

    I there was a time distribution available (current it's not because of too few submissions) I would see if it makes sense to perform some small optimizations :)

    Have a splendid weekend!

Quasi FSM (Finite State Machine) problem + Vibe

Not really an FSM problem since the state isn't changing, it is just defined by the current input. Simply following the instructions should do it. Using VSCode IDE you can also engage the help of Cline or Copilot for a combo of coding and vibe coding, see below screenshot. Cheers, ACC. Process String with Special Operations I - LeetCode You are given a string  s  consisting of lowercase English letters and the special characters:  * ,  # , and  % .

Shortest Bridge – A BFS Story (with a Twist)

Here's another one from the Google 30 Days challenge on LeetCode — 934. Shortest Bridge . The goal? Given a 2D binary grid where two islands (groups of 1s) are separated by water (0s), flip the fewest number of 0s to 1s to connect them. Easy to describe. Sneaky to implement well. 🧭 My Approach My solution follows a two-phase Breadth-First Search (BFS) strategy: Find and mark one island : I start by scanning the grid until I find the first 1 , then use BFS to mark all connected land cells as 2 . I store their positions for later use. Bridge-building BFS : For each cell in the marked island, I run a BFS looking for the second island. Each BFS stops as soon as it hits a cell with value 1 . The minimum distance across all these searches gives the shortest bridge. 🔍 Code Snippet Here's the core logic simplified: public int ShortestBridge(int[][] grid) { // 1. Mark one island as '2' and gather its coordinates List<int> island = FindAndMark...

Classic Dynamic Programming IX

A bit of vibe code together with OpenAI O3. I asked O3 to just generate the sieve due to laziness. Sieve is used to calculate the first M primes (when I was using Miller-Rabin, was giving me TLE). The DP follows from that in a straightforward way: calculate the numbers from i..n-1, then n follows by calculating the min over all M primes. Notice that I made use of Goldbach's Conjecture as a way to optimize the code too. Goldbach's Conjecture estates that any even number greater than 2 is the sum of 2 primes. The conjecture is applied in the highlighted line. Cheers, ACC. PS: the prompt for the sieve was the following, again using Open AI O3 Advanced Reasoning: " give me a sieve to find the first M prime numbers in C#. The code should produce a List<int> with the first M primes " Minimum Number of Primes to Sum to Target - LeetCode You are given two integers  n  and  m .
