mmiller@cacegypt.org recursion > count8
prev  |  next  |  chance

Given a non-negative integer n, compute recursively (no loops) the count of the occurrences of 8 as a digit, except that an 8 with another 8 immediately to its left counts double, so 8818 yields 4.

Note that mod (%) by 10 yields the rightmost digit (126 % 10 is 6), while divide (/) by 10 removes the rightmost digit (126 / 10 is 12).

count8(8) → 1
count8(818) → 2
count8(8818) → 4

...Save, Compile, Run (ctrl-enter)

def count8( n ):
