Given 3 four-digit integers A, B, and C, the task is to print the number formed by taking the maximum digit from all the digits at the same positions in the given numbers.
Examples:
Input: A = 3521, B = 2452, C = 1352
Output: 3552
Explanation:
- The maximum of the digits that are at 1th place is equal to max(A[3] = 1, B[3] = 2, C[3] = 2) 2.
- The maximum of the digits that are at 10th place is equal to max(A[2] = 2, B[2] = 5, C[2] = 5) 5.
- The maximum of the digits that are at 100th place is equal to max(A[1] = 5, B[1] = 4, C[1] = 3) 5.
- The maximum of the digits that are at 1000th place is equal to max(A[0] = 3, B[0] = 3, C[0] = 1) 3.
Therefore, the number formed is 3552.
Input: A = 11, B = 12, C = 22
Output: 22
Approach: The problem can be solved by iterating over the digits of the given integers. Follow the steps below to solve the problem:
- Initialize a variable, say ans as 0 and P as 1 to store the maximum number possible and the position value of a digit.
- Iterate until A, B and C are greater than 0 and perform the following steps:
- Find the digits at the unit places of the numbers A, B, and C and store them in variables say a, b and c respectively.
- Update A to A/10, B to B/10, and C to C/10.
- Increment ans by the P*max(a, b, c) and then update P to P*10.
- Finally, after completing the above steps, print the answer stored in ans.
Below is the implementation of the above approach:
C++
// C++ program for the above approach #include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; Â
// Function to find the maximum number // formed by taking the maximum digit // at the same position from each number int findkey( int A, int B, int C) {     // Stores the result     int ans = 0; Â
    // Stores the position value of a     // digit     int cur = 1; Â
    while (A > 0) { Â
        // Stores the digit at the unit         // place         int a = A % 10;         // Stores the digit at the unit         // place         int b = B % 10;         // Stores the digit at the unit         // place         int c = C % 10; Â
        // Update A, B and C         A = A / 10;         B = B / 10;         C = C / 10; Â
        // Stores the maximum digit         int m = max(a, max(c, b)); Â
        // Increment ans cur*a         ans += cur * m; Â
        // Update cur         cur = cur * 10;     }     // Return ans     return ans; } Â
// Driver Code int main() {     // Given Input     int A = 3521, B = 2452, C = 1352; Â
    // Function call     cout << findkey(A, B, C);     return 0; } |
Java
// Java program for the above approach public class GFG { Â
// Function to find the maximum number // formed by taking the maximum digit // at the same position from each number static int findkey( int A, int B, int C) {        // Stores the result     int ans = 0 ; Â
    // Stores the position value of a     // digit     int cur = 1 ; Â
    while (A > 0 ) { Â
        // Stores the digit at the unit         // place         int a = A % 10 ;                // Stores the digit at the unit         // place         int b = B % 10 ;                // Stores the digit at the unit         // place         int c = C % 10 ; Â
        // Update A, B and C         A = A / 10 ;         B = B / 10 ;         C = C / 10 ; Â
        // Stores the maximum digit         int m = Math.max(a, Math.max(c, b)); Â
        // Increment ans cur*a         ans += cur * m; Â
        // Update cur         cur = cur * 10 ;     }     // Return ans     return ans; } Â
// Driver Code public static void main(String args[]) {     // Given Input     int A = 3521 , B = 2452 , C = 1352 ; Â
    // Function call     System.out.println(findkey(A, B, C));     } } Â
