Subtract the Product and Sum of Digits of an Integer


Given an integer number n, return the difference between the product of its digits and the sum of its digits.

Example 1:
Input: n = 234
Output: 15
Explanation:
Product of digits = 2 * 3 * 4 = 24
Sum of digits = 2 + 3 + 4 = 9
Result = 24 – 9 = 15

Example 2:
Input: n = 4421
Output: 21
Explanation:
Product of digits = 4 * 4 * 2 * 1 = 32
Sum of digits = 4 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 11
Result = 32 – 11 = 21

Constraints:
1 <= n <= 10^5

Hints:

To get the digits of a integer, we can iteratedly divide the integer by ten, and retrieve the right-most digit by using modulous operator (%). The time complexity is O(lgN).

class Solution {
public:
    int subtractProductAndSum(int n) {
        int sum = 0;
        int product = 1;
        while (n > 0) {
            sum += n % 10;
            product *= n % 10;
            n /= 10;
        }
        return product - sum;
    }
};
class Solution {
public:
    int subtractProductAndSum(int n) {
        int sum = 0;
        int product = 1;
        while (n > 0) {
            sum += n % 10;
            product *= n % 10;
            n /= 10;
        }
        return product - sum;
    }
};

The C++ code above requires O(1) constant space. And in Python, you could convert the integer into string, join them with a space, then split them into array of digit strings, finally convert them into list of digits by using the map function.

from operator import mul
from functools import reduce
 
class Solution:
    def subtractProductAndSum(self, n: int) -> int:
        temp = list(map(int, ' '.join(str(n)).split()))
        return reduce(mul, temp, 1) - sum(temp)
from operator import mul
from functools import reduce

class Solution:
    def subtractProductAndSum(self, n: int) -> int:
        temp = list(map(int, ' '.join(str(n)).split()))
        return reduce(mul, temp, 1) - sum(temp)

Then, we can compute the produce by using the reduce function, with the mul operator. The sum of digits can be just obtained via the sum() function.
