Project Euler 112 - Bouncy Numbers
Official link: https://projecteuler.net/problem=112
Thought Process
I have 2 functions:
is_bouncy(number)
Function takes a number list and produces a temp variable = list(str(number)), I figured it would be fast to directly check if this list is = to the same list sorted or to the same list sorted then reversed, if it is it means it is increasing or decreasing respectively
If it is the function returns False, else it returns True
compute(percentage)
Initialise 2 variables bouncy_numbers = 0 and total = 1
Start a while loop that ends when bouncy_numbers/total does not equal percentage
Keep increasing total and if is_bouncy(total) = True increase the bouncy_numbers count
Interactive Code
Enter an integer (yourinput)
Code will output the least number for which the proportion of bouncy numbers is exactly yourinput%
