# 06. How Many X's?

## My Approach

Simply go with the flow of question.

* I iterate through the numbers in the given range (`L` to `R`). For each number,
* I count the occurrences of the digit `X` by using the `cntX` function.
  * The function divides the number by 10 in each iteration and checks if the last digit is equal to `X`. If it is, I increment the count.

## Time and Auxiliary Space Complexity

* **Time Complexity** : `O((R-L) * log(R))`, where `log(R)` is the number of digits in R.
* **Auxiliary Space Complexity**: `O(1)`, as no extra space is used.

## Code (C++)

```cpp
class Solution {
public: 
    void cntX(int n, int& X, int& cnt){
        while(n){
            if(n % 10 == X)
                ++cnt;
            n /= 10;
        }
    }

    int countX(int L, int R, int X) {
        int cnt = 0;
        
        for(int i = L + 1; i < R; i++)
            cntX(i, X, cnt);

        return cnt;
    }
};
```

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://gl01.gitbook.io/gfg-editorials/2023/12-2023-dec-5/06-how-many-xs.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
