Additive Number Problem
Description
LeetCode Problem 306.
Additive number is a string whose digits can form additive sequence.
A valid additive sequence should contain at least three numbers. Except for the first two numbers, each subsequent number in the sequence must be the sum of the preceding two.
Given a string containing only digits ‘0’-‘9’, write a function to determine if it’s an additive number.
Note: Numbers in the additive sequence cannot have leading zeros, so sequence 1, 2, 03 or 1, 02, 3 is invalid.
Example 1:
1
2
3
4
Input: "112358"
Output: true
Explanation: The digits can form an additive sequence: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8.
1 + 1 = 2, 1 + 2 = 3, 2 + 3 = 5, 3 + 5 = 8
Example 2:
1
2
3
4
Input: "199100199"
Output: true
Explanation: The additive sequence is: 1, 99, 100, 199.
1 + 99 = 100, 99 + 100 = 199
Constraints:
- num consists only of digits ‘0’-‘9’.
- 1 <= num.length <= 35
Sample C++ Code
Note that the length of first two numbers can’t be longer than half of the initial string, so the two loops in the first function will end when i>num.size()/2 and j>(num.size()-i)/2, this will actually save a lot of time.
