3550. Smallest Index With Digit Sum Equal to Index

Description

You are given an integer array nums.

Return the smallest index i such that the sum of the digits of nums[i] is equal to i.

If no such index exists, return -1.

 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,3,2]

Output: 2

Explanation:

  • For nums[2] = 2, the sum of digits is 2, which is equal to index i = 2. Thus, the output is 2.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [1,10,11]

Output: 1

Explanation:

  • For nums[1] = 10, the sum of digits is 1 + 0 = 1, which is equal to index i = 1.
  • For nums[2] = 11, the sum of digits is 1 + 1 = 2, which is equal to index i = 2.
  • Since index 1 is the smallest, the output is 1.

Example 3:

Input: nums = [1,2,3]

Output: -1

Explanation:

  • Since no index satisfies the condition, the output is -1.

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 100
  • 0 <= nums[i] <= 1000

Solutions

Solution 1: Enumeration + Digit Sum

We can start from index $i = 0$ and iterate through each element $x$ in the array, calculating the digit sum $s$ of $x$. If $s = i$, return the index $i$. If no such index is found after traversing all elements, return -1.

The time complexity is $O(n)$, where $n$ is the length of the array. The space complexity is $O(1)$, as only constant extra space is used.

    public int smallestIndex(int[] nums) {
        for (int i = 0; i < nums.length; ++i) {
            int s = 0;
            while (nums[i] != 0) {
                s += nums[i] % 10;
                nums[i] /= 10;
            }
            if (s == i) {
                return i;
            }
        }
        return -1;
    }
