CONCEPTS USED:
Recursion
DIFFICULTY LEVEL:
Easy
PROBLEM STATEMENT(
SIMPLIFIED)
:
Given an integer
N
, recursively find the multiplication of digits ofN
modulus with10^9+7
.
See original problem statement here
For Example:
Input : N = 125
Output : 10
Explanation : 1 * 2 * 5 = 10 (Multiplication of all digits of 125)
SOLVING APPROACH:
The idea is quite simple :-
Recursively keep multiplying
N / 10
withN % 10
until the value ofN
becomes equal to0
.
ALGORITHM:
multiply (N)
if (N is less than equal to 0)
return 1
else
return (N % 10) * multiply (N/10)
Why is it required to modulo with 109+7 ?
As the digits are multiplied, the result may exceed even the maximum limit of
long long int
data type and overflow may occur giving unexpected results, so to keep our result in the valid range of our data types, we modulo result with 109+7.
