Leetcode 2894. Divisible and Non-divisible Sums Difference

 

Problem Statement:

 leetcode problem 2894. Divisible and Non-divisible Sums Difference - 

You are given positive integers n and m.

Define two integers as follows:num1: The sum of all integers in the range [1, n] (both inclusive) that are not divisible by m.
num2: The sum of all integers in the range [1, n] (both inclusive) that are divisible by m.

Return the integer num1 - num2.

Initial Code

class Solution {
    public int differenceOfSums(int n, int m) {
        int suma = 0;sumb=0; // ERROR: sumb not declared properly
        for (int i=1; i==n; i++){ // ERROR: i==n (this never iterates)
            if(i%m==0){
                sumb+=i;
            }else{
                suma+=i;
            }
        }
        return suma-sumb;
    }
}

Issues in the code:

• Variable declaration: sumb is undeclared.
• Loop condition: for (int i = 1; i == n; i++) executes only when i equals n, so it never loops. It must be i <= n.
• Minor style: combining declarations on one line makes it harder to read

Corrected code

class Solution {
    public int differenceOfSums(int n, int m) {
        int suma = 0;
        int sumb = 0;
        for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
            if (i % m == 0) sumb += i;
            else suma += i;
        }
        return suma - sumb;
    }
}

Leetcode 3110 - Score of a string problem analysis

 Hi Everyone, This was the first attempt answer for the Leetcode problem on score of a string. 

https://leetcode.com/problems/score-of-a-string

class Solution {
    public int scoreOfString(String s) {
        sum = 0;
        char[] ssize = s.toCharArray();
        for (int i=0;i<ssize.length-1; i++){
            sum = sum + abs(ssize(i).asciicode-ssize(i+1).asciicode)
        }
            return sum
        }

Issues with the code - 

Issue	Description
sum not declared   -	sum is used without type declaration.
Incorrect syntax: abs() -	Java requires Math.abs() for absolute value.
Incorrect character access: ssize(i) -	Use ssize[i], not parentheses.
Non-existent property: .asciicode	Characters in Java already act as ASCII values when cast to int.
Missing semicolons and braces	Several semicolons and } missing.
Overall formatting and structure	Needs improvement for clarity and compilation.

Learning from the code: 

1. Declare the variables. 

2. For each Math method, use Math.<method>

3. Array access using [].

4. asciiCode. each character has a ascii value, which can be used while converting to int.

5. colons are missing

Corrected code for this 

class Solution {
    public int scoreOfString(String s) {
        int sum = 0;
        char[] ssize = s.toCharArray();
        for (int i = 0; i < ssize.length - 1; i++) {
            sum += Math.abs(ssize[i] - ssize[i + 1]);
        }
        return sum;
    }
}
