Problem
An integer n is strictly palindromic if, for every base b between 2 and n - 2 (inclusive), the string representation of the integer n in base b is palindromic.
Given an integer n, return true if n is strictly palindromic and false otherwise.
A string is palindromic if it reads the same forward and backward.
Example 1:
Input: n = 9 Output: false Explanation: In base 2: 9 = 1001 (base 2), which is palindromic. In base 3: 9 = 100 (base 3), which is not palindromic. Therefore, 9 is not strictly palindromic so we return false. Note that in bases 4, 5, 6, and 7, n = 9 is also not palindromic.
Example 2:
Input: n = 4 Output: false Explanation: We only consider base 2: 4 = 100 (base 2), which is not palindromic. Therefore, we return false.
Constraints:
4 <= n <= 105
Pre analysis
Will simply follow algorithm to convert number to base and check if it is palindrome or not
Another solution
- Verbose implementation of the same
/**
* @param {number} n
* @return {boolean}
*/
var isStrictlyPalindromic = function (n) {
let isPalindromeFlag = false;
for (let i = 2; i < n - 1; i++) {
let b = n.toString(i);
isPalindromeFlag = checkPalindrome(b);
if (!isPalindromeFlag) return false;
}
return isPalindromeFlag;
};
function checkPalindrome(base) {
let len = base.length,
left = 0,
right = len - 1,
flag = false;
while (left <= right) {
if (base[left] === base[right]) {
flag = true;
left++;
right--;
} else return false;
}
return flag;
