Decode Ways

Problem Statement

You are given a string

s
that represents a sequence of numbers from 1 to 9 repeated some number of times. A valid sequence is one where each number in the sequence is valid, and each number has a valid number of repeating preceding digits that it can be decoded as. A number
c
that repeats
n
times can be decoded as the number
nc
. If a number
c
can be decoded as multiple values (e.g., '26'), it can only be decoded as one value in the sequence.

Rules and Constraints

  • A number can have values from 1 to 9.
  • The number in
    s
    must start with a character that can be decoded as a valid number.
  • Each number in
    s
    must be valid and can be decoded as a sequence of preceding repeated digits.
  • The string
    s
    is composed of only digits in the set [1-9].
  • There will not be more than
    100
    digits in the string
    s
    .
  • The function should return the total number of valid sequences that
    s
    can be decoded as.

Time/Space Complexity

The time complexity should be O(length of

s
), and the space complexity should be O(length of
s
), as only a single pass is needed to traverse the string and store the intermediate results if a dynamic programming approach is taken.

Example

Input: {"input_data":[1,2,3]} Output: [1,2,3]
