A certain street has 1000 buildings. A sign-maker is
contracted to number the houses from 1 to 1000. How many
zeroes will he need?

Answer Posted / guest

Divide 1000 building numbers into groups of 100 each as
follow:
(1..100), (101..200), (201..300), ....... (901..1000)

For the first group, sign-maker will need 11 zeroes.
For group numbers 2 to 9, he will require 20 zeroes each.
And for group number 10, he will require 21 zeroes.

The total numbers of zeroes required are
= 11 + 8*20 + 21
= 11 + 160 + 21
= 192

Is This Answer Correct ?    132 Yes 11 No

There is a lucky draw held every day. If there is a winning number eg. 1876, then all possible numbers like 1867 ,1687,1768 etc are the numbers that match irrespective of the position of the digits. Thus all these numbers qualify fr the lucky draw prize. Assume there is no zero digit in any numbers. Write a program to show all the possible winning numbers if a "winningnumber" is passed as an argument to the function. i want a solution in c/c++ language
