Project Euler > Problem 112 > Bouncy numbers (Java Solution)

Problem:

Working from left-to-right if no digit is exceeded by the digit to its left it is called an increasing number; for example, 134468.

Similarly if no digit is exceeded by the digit to its right it is called a decreasing number; for example, 66420.

We shall call a positive integer that is neither increasing nor decreasing a "bouncy" number; for example, 155349.

Clearly there cannot be any bouncy numbers below one-hundred, but just over half of the numbers below one-thousand (525) are bouncy. In fact, the least number for which the proportion of bouncy numbers first reaches 50% is 538.

Surprisingly, bouncy numbers become more and more common and by the time we reach 21780 the proportion of bouncy numbers is equal to 90%.

Find the least number for which the proportion of bouncy numbers is exactly 99%.


Solution:

76576500

Code:
The solution may include methods that will be found here: Library.java .

public interface EulerSolution{

public String run();

}

int num = 0;

return Integer.toString(num);
}
}


private static int countDivisors(int n) {
int count = 0;
int end = Library.sqrt(n);
for (int i = 1; i < end; i++) {
if (n % i == 0)
count += 2;
}
if (end * end == n) // Perfect square
count++;
return count;
}
