Problema
Ver traducciónAt each step, choose a nonzero decimal digit currently present in the number and subtract that digit. Digits are taken from the new value after every step. Find the minimum number of steps needed to reach zero.
Implement removing_digits(n).
Input
n: The positive starting number.
Output
Return the fewest subtraction steps.
Restricciones
1 ≤ n ≤ 1,000,000. Subtracting zero is not a useful move and is excluded.
Ejemplos
Entrada:
n = 14
Salida esperada:
expected = 3
Entrada:
long long n = 14;
Salida esperada:
long long expected = 3;
Entrada:
long n = 14;
Salida esperada:
long expected = 3;
Explicación
14 → 10 → 9 → 0 uses three steps. Neither possible first subtraction can reach zero in only two steps.
Entrada:
n = 7
Salida esperada:
expected = 1
Entrada:
long long n = 7;
Salida esperada:
long long expected = 1;
Entrada:
long n = 7;
Salida esperada:
long expected = 1;
Explicación
Subtract the only digit, 7, to reach 0 immediately.
