Convert all substrings of length ‘k’ from base ‘b’ to decimal

A string defining a valid number is given. Output all the base conversions of substrings of length ‘k’ from base ‘b’ to base 10.

Examples: 

Input :  str = "12212", 
      k = 3, b = 3.
Output : 17 25 23
Explanation :
All the substrings of length 'k' are : 122, 221, 212.
Base conversion can be computed using the formula.

Naive approach: A simple approach is to use a simple base conversion technique. For a base b number str, its decimal equivalent is str[0]*b0 + str[1]*b1 + str[2]*b2 + … + str[n-1]*bn-1 

Follow the below steps to implement the above idea:

  • Define the substringConversions function that takes a string str, an integer k (substring length), and an integer b (target base) as input.
  • For each substring of length k in str:
               a. Extract the substring and save it in the variable sub.
               b. Evaluate the decimal value of sub by iterating over each character in sub from right to left:
                            i. Convert the character to its corresponding digit value using sub.at(i) – ‘0’.
                            ii. Multiply the digit value by the base raised to the power of its position in the substring, starting from 0 (i.e., the rightmost digit has a power of 0).
                            iii. Add the result of step ii to a running total sum.
              c. Print the final value of sum for the current substring.
  • End the substringConversions function.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++




// Simple C++ program to convert all substrings from
// decimal to given base.
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
int substringConversions(string str, int k, int b)
{
    for (int i=0; i + k <= str.size(); i++)
    {
        // Saving substring in sub
        string sub = str.substr(i, k);       
         
        // Evaluating decimal for current substring
        // and printing it.
        int sum = 0, counter = 0;
        for (int i = sub.size() - 1; i >= 0; i--)
        {
            sum = sum + ((sub.at(i) - '0') * pow(b, counter));
            counter++;
        }       
        cout << sum << " ";
    }
}
 
// Driver code

        // Evaluating decimal for current substring
        // and printing it.
        int sum = 0, counter = 0;

        {
            sum = (int) (sum + ((sub.charAt(j) - '0') *

Time Complexity : O(n*k)
Auxiliary Space: O(n)

Efficient approach (Using sliding window): We can use Sliding Window technique to solve it in linear time. Every time we slide the window, we will subtract the weight of first element i.e. (element * pow(b, k-1) ). Now multiplying the previous sum with ‘b’ will increase weight of every element 3 times which is required. Also we will simply add the new element in window because its weight will be element * pow(b, 0)

Below is the implementation :

// decimal to given base.

    // Computing the decimal of first window
    for (i; i < k; i++)
    {
        sum = sum + ((str.at(i) - '0') * pow(b, counter));
        counter--;
    }
    cout << sum << " ";
     
    // prev stores the previous decimal
    int prev = sum;
            
    // Computing decimal equivalents of all other windows
    sum = 0, counter = 0;
    for (i; i < str.size(); i++)
    {
        // Subtracting weight of the element pushed out of window
        sum = prev - ((str.at(i - k) - '0') * pow(b, k-1));
         
        // Multiplying the decimal by base to formulate other window
        sum = sum * b;
         
        // Adding the new element of window to sum
        sum = sum + (str.at(i) - '0');
         
        // Decimal of current window
