Solution: Additive Number
Explore how to determine if a digit string forms an additive sequence using backtracking. Understand the recursive approach to select numbers and verify the sum property while handling constraints like no leading zeros.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
An additive number is a string whose digits can be partitioned into an additive sequence.
A valid additive sequence contains at least three numbers, where every number after the first two is equal to the sum of the two immediately preceding numbers.
Given a string, num, containing only digits, determine whether it represents an additive number. Return TRUE if a valid additive sequence can be formed from the digits of num, and FALSE otherwise.
Note: Numbers in the additive sequence cannot have leading zeros. For example, the sequences
1, 2, 03and1, 02, 3are both invalid.
Constraints:
