The challenge
Complete the function that takes 3 numbers x, y and k
(where x ≤ y
), and returns the number of integers within the range [x..y]
(both ends included) that are divisible by k
.
More scientifically: { i : x ≤ i ≤ y, i mod k = 0 }
Example
Given x = 6, y = 11, k = 2
the function should return 3
, because there are three numbers divisible by 2
between 6
and 11
: 6, 8, 10
- Note: The test cases are very large. You will need a O(log n) solution or better to pass. (A constant time solution is possible.)
The solution in Java code
Option 1:
class Solution {
static long divisibleCount(long x, long y, long k) {
return y / k - x / k + (x % k > 0 ? 0 : 1);
}
}
Option 2:
public class Solution {
public static long divisibleCount(long x, long y, long k) {
return Math.floorDiv(y, k) - Math.floorDiv(x - 1, k);
}
}
Option 3:
import java.util.stream.LongStream;
public class Solution {
public static long divisibleCount(long x, long y, long k) {
while (x % k != 0)
x++;
while (y % k != 0)
y--;
return (y - x) / k + 1; }
}
