What I've done today is Champernowne's constant in Rust and Sudoku SolverIs Subsequence in JavaScript.

I need more practice to write my own Dancing Link is JS.

Problem

Champernowne's constant

Problem 40

An irrational decimal fraction is created by concatenating the positive integers:

0.123456789101112131415161718192021...

It can be seen that the 12th digit of the fractional part is 1.

If d**n represents the nth digit of the fractional part, find the value of the following expression.

d1 × d10 × d100 × d1000 × d10000 × d100000 × d1000000

Solution

Nothing to say.

Implementation

fn main() {
    let mut ans = 1;
    for i in 0..7 {
        ans *= getdigit(10i32.pow(i));
    }
    println!("Answer is {}", ans);
}

fn getdigit(n: i32) -> i32 {
    let mut cur: i32 = 0;
    let mut s: i32 = 0;
    let mut index = 0;
    while s < n {
        cur = s;
        index += 1;
        s += 9*10i32.pow(index as u32 - 1) * (index as i32);
    }
    let h = n - cur - 1;
    let t = 10i32.pow(index-1) + h / (index as i32);
    let p = (h % (index as i32)) as usize;
    let ans = t.to_string().as_bytes()[p];
    let ans = ans as char;
    let ans = ans.to_digit(10).unwrap();
    ans as i32
}

Problem

392. Is Subsequence

Medium

Given a string s and a string t, check if s is subsequence of t.

You may assume that there is only lower case English letters in both s and t. t is potentially a very long (length ~= 500,000) string, and s is a short string (<=100).

A subsequence of a string is a new string which is formed from the original string by deleting some (can be none) of the characters without disturbing the relative positions of the remaining characters. (ie, "ace" is a subsequence of "abcde"while "aec" is not).

Example 1: s = "abc", t = "ahbgdc"

Return true.

Example 2: s = "axc", t = "ahbgdc"

Return false.

Follow up: If there are lots of incoming S, say S1, S2, ... , Sk where k >= 1B, and you want to check one by one to see if T has its subsequence. In this scenario, how would you change your code?

Solution

Nothing to say.

Implementation

/**
 * @param {string} s
 * @param {string} t
 * @return {boolean}
 */
var isSubsequence = function(s, t) {
  let cur = 0;
  for (let i = 0; i < t.length && cur < s.length; ++i) {
    if (t.charAt(i) === s.charAt(cur)) ++cur;
  }
  return cur === s.length;
};

// console.log(isSubsequence("abc","ahbgdc"));
// console.log(isSubsequence("axc","ahbgdc"));
