11687 - Digits

[uDebug]

Here's some input / output that I found useful during testing / debugging.

What's not entirely clear to me is why the AC output for input "1" is "1". Shouldn't it be "2"?

Update: juniorAw, answered this question on uHunt and I'd like to share what I learned. Recall, from the problem statement that

Code: Select all

x(i+1) = the number of digits in the decimal representation of xi 

Let x0 = 1. Now,

Code: Select all

x1 = x(0+1) = the number of digits in the decimal representation of x0 = 1. So, x0 = x1.

Let's see what happens when x0's not equal to 1 but is less than 10.

Assume x0 = 2. Now,

Code: Select all

 
x1 = x(0+1) = the number of digits in the decimal representation of x0 = 1. So, x0 != x1.

x2 = x(1+1) = the number of digits in the decimal representation of x1 = 1. So, x1 = x2.
