Add 1 to the number represented as array (Recursive Approach)?



Given an array which is a collection of non-negative number represented as an array of digits, add 1 to the number (increment the number represented by the digits ). The digits are stored such that the most significant digit is the first element of the array.

To add 1 to the number represented by digits

  • Given array from the end, addition means rounding of the last no 4 to 5.

  • If the last elements 9, make it 0 and carry = 1.

  • For the next iteration check carry and if it adds to 10, do the same as step 2.

  • After adding carry, make carry = 0 for the next iteration.

  • If the vectors add and increase the vector size, append 1 in the beginning.

Suppose an array contains elements [7, 6, 3, 4] then the array represents decimal number 1234 and hence adding 1 to this would result in 7635. So new array will be [7, 6, 3, 5].

Examples

Input: [7, 6, 9, 9] Output: [7, 7, 0, 0] Input: [4, 1, 7, 8, 9] Output: [4, 1, 7, 9, 0]

Explanation Add 1 to the last element of the array, if it is less than 9. If the element is 9, then make it 0 and recurse for the remaining element of the array.

Example

#include <iostream> using namespace std; void sum(int arr[], int n) {    int i = n;    if(arr[i] < 9) {       arr[i] = arr[i] + 1;       return;    }    arr[i] = 0;    i--;    sum(arr, i);    if(arr[0] > 0) {       cout << arr[0] << ", ";    }    for(int i = 1; i <= n; i++) {       cout << arr[i];       if(i < n) {          cout << ", ";       }    } } int main() {    int n = 4;    int arr[] = {4, 1, 7, 8, 9};    sum(arr, n);    return 0; }
