An introductory USACO Bronze-level problem about a mathematically gifted cow named Bessie with insomnia.
Bessie was daydreaming one day as she drifted between wakefulness and that delicious drowsiness that we all feel when we are tired. For a moment, she counted sheep as couldn't quite sleep. Bessie's mind is razor-sharp and visualizes the numbers as she counts. She started noticing the digits and wondered: how many instances of each digit appear in a counting sequence?
Given two integers M and N (1 <= M <= N <= 2,000,000,000 and N - M <= 500,000), how many occurrences of each digit appear?
Consider the sequence 129...137: 129, 130, 131, 132, 133, 134, 135, 136, 137. Count the digits to find:
1x0 1x5
10x1 1x6
2x2 1x7
9x3 0x8
1x4 1x9
- Line 1: Two space-separated integers: M and N
129 137
- Line 1: Ten space-separated integers that are the counts of the number of each digit (0..9) that appears while counting through the sequence.
1 10 2 9 1 1 1 1 0 1
One zero, ten ones, etc.
