Basics of decibinary.go

Define a deci-binary/pseudo-binary number as any base-10 number whose digits are composed of only 1 or 0. For example, 10, 11, 110, 101 are all deci-binary/pseudo-binary numbers.

Given an input integer n, find the minimal combination of deci-binary/pseudo-binary numbers that sum to that input. For example, n = 23 would return [11, 11, 1].

Working as of go 1.12.5

Usage

Verify everything works as expected with go test.

Build using go build.

Input integers can be specified as command line arguments:

./decibinary 123 0 99 -1

Which would print out:

$ ./decibinary 123 0 99 -1
  Input:  123
  	 3 steps: [111 11 1]
  Input:  0
  	 1 steps: [0]
  Input:  99
  	 9 steps: [11 11 11 11 11 11 11 11 11]
  Input:  -1
  	 0 steps: []

Examples

• 123 would return [111 11 1]
• 91 would return [11 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10]
• 0 would return [0]
