Remove Repeated Digits in a Given Number Using C++

In this article, we are given a number n, and we need to remove repeated digits in a given number.

Input: x = 12224
Output: 124

Input: x = 124422
Output: 1242

Input: x = 11332
Output: 132

In the given problem, we will go through all the digits and remove the repeating digits.

Approach to find The Solution

In the given approach, we will go through all the digits of n from right to left now. We go through digits of n by taking mod of n with 10 and then dividing n with 10. Now our current digit is n mod 10. We check it with the previous digit. If the digits are equal, we traverse n now. If they are not similar, we add this digit to our new number, change the previous digit to current, and continue the loop.

Example

#include <bits/stdc++.h>

#define MOD 1000000007

using namespace std;

int main() {
   int n = 1222333232; // given n
   int new_n = 0; // new number
   int po = 1; // will b multiple of ten for new digits
   int prev = -1; // previous digit
   int curr; // current digit
   while(n) {
      curr = n % 10;
      if(prev != curr) { // if a digit is not repeated then we go in this block
         new_n = new_n + (curr * po); // we add a new digit to new_n
         po *= 10;
         prev = curr;
      }
      n /= 10;
   }
   cout << new_n << "\n";
   return 0;
}

Output

123232

Explanation of the above code

In the above approach, we are simply traversing through the digits of n now when our previous digit and current digit don’t match, we add such digit to our new number, and as our digit is added, we also increase po, which is being used for positions of our digits now if our current and previous digits match-we don’t run this block and continue the loop till our n becomes 0.

Conclusion

In this article, we solve a problem to Remove repeated digits in a given number. We also learned the C++ program for this problem and the complete approach ( Normal) by which we solved this problem. We can write the same program in other languages such as C, java, python, and other languages. We hope you find this article helpful.
