3871. Count Commas in Range II

Description

You are given an integer n.

Return the total number of commas used when writing all integers from [1, n] (inclusive) in standard number formatting.

In standard formatting:

  • A comma is inserted after every three digits from the right.
  • Numbers with fewer than 4 digits contain no commas.

 

Example 1:

Input: n = 1002

Output: 3

Explanation:

The numbers "1,000", "1,001", and "1,002" each contain one comma, giving a total of 3.

Example 2:

Input: n = 998

Output: 0

Explanation:

​​​​​​​All numbers from 1 to 998 have fewer than four digits. Therefore, no commas are used.

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= n <= 1015

Solutions

Solution 1: Mathematics

Based on the problem description, we can observe the following pattern:

  • Numbers in the range [1, 999] contain no commas;
  • Numbers in the range [1,000, 999,999] contain one comma;
  • Numbers in the range [1,000,000, 999,999,999] contain two commas;
  • And so on.

Therefore, we can start from $x = 1000$ and multiply $x$ by 1000 each time until $x$ exceeds $n$. In each iteration, there are $n - x + 1$ numbers that newly gain one comma, and we accumulate their count into the answer.

The time complexity is $O(\log n)$, and the space complexity is $O(1)$.
