You swiftly determine that the puzzle can be solved by counting the number of holes in the digits of a number. e.g. 1,2,3,5,7 have no holes, 0, 4, 6, 9 have 1 hole each, and 8 has 2 holes. 2 is therefore the value of x to the last line. | |
Excited by this discovery, you now want to solve this puzzle using a computer program. You have to complete the function solvePuzzle(num) where num is the input number, and the return value is the number of holes in num. | |
Constraints: | |
1 ≤ num ≤ 109 | |
There will be no leading zeroes. | |
Input Format: | |
The function "solvePuzzle" contains an integer "num". | |
Output Format: | |
Return an integer denoting number of holes present in "num". | |
Sample Input #00: | |
num = 630 | |
Sample Output #00: | |
2 | |
Explanation #00: | |
6 and 0 have one hole each | |
Sample Input #01: | |
num = 1288 | |
Sample Output #01: | |
4 | |
Explanation #01: | |
Both 8's contain 2 holes each. | |
YOUR ANSWER | |
Javascript | |
function solvePuzzle(num) { | |
var digits = num.toString().split(''); | |
var values =[1,0,0,0,1,0,1,0,2,1] | |
return digits.reduce(function(sum, digit) { | |
return sum + values[digit]; | |
}, 0); | |
//Switch method | |
// return digits.reduce(function(sum, digit) { | |
// var value; | |
// switch(digit) { | |
// case '0': | |
// case'4': | |
// case '6': | |
// case '9': | |
// value = 1; | |
// case '8': | |
// value = 2; | |
// } | |
// } | |
// return sum + value; | |
// }, 0) | |
// Explanation | |
// return digits.reduce(function(sum, digit) { | |
// var value; | |
// if(digit == 0) { | |
// } | |
// return sum + value; | |
// }, 0) | |
// 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 | |
// 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 2 1 | |
