本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛We have a string of digits, find the minimum number of additions required for the string to equal some target number. Each addition is the equivalent of inserting a plus sign somewhere into the string of digits. After all plus signs are inserted, evaluate the sum as usual. For example, consider the string "12" . With zero additions, we can achieve the number 12. If we insert one plus sign into the string, we get "1+2", which evaluates to 3. So, in that case, given "12", a minimum of 1 addition is required to get the number 3. As another example, consider "303" and a target sum of 6. The best strategy is not "3+0+3", but "3+03". You can do this because leading zeros do not change the result.
Write a class SimpleSums that contains the method minMSums, which takes a String numbers and an int sum. The method should calculate and return the minimum number of additions required to create an expression from numbers that evaluates to sum. If this is impossible, return -1.
Examples
0)
"99999"
45
Returns: 4
In this case, the only way to achieve 45 is to add 9+9+9+9+9. This requires 4 additions.
1)
"1110"
3
Returns: 3
Be careful with zeros. 1+1+1+0=3 and requires 3 additions.
2)
"0123456789"
45
Returns: 8
3)
"99999"
100
Returns: -1
4)
"382834"
100
Returns: 2
There are three ways to get 100. They are 38+28+34, 3+8+2+83+4 and 3+82+8+3+4. The minimum required is 2.
