The digits , , and look much the same if rotated degrees on the page (turned upside down). Also, the digit looks much like a , and vice versa, when rotated degrees on the page. A multi-digit number may also look like itself when rotated on the page; for example and do, but and do not.

You are to write a program to count how many numbers from a given interval look like themselves when rotated degrees on the page. For example, in the interval there are six: , , , , , and .

Your program should take as input two integers, and , which define the interval to be checked, . The output from your program is the number of rotatable numbers in the interval.

You may assume that all input is valid.

#### Sample Input

1
100

#### Sample Output

My solution worked but it's way above the memory limit... How would one approach to reduce memory?

In Java, the memory displayed is the total memory used by Java itself and your program. However, the memory limit is calculated internally based on what your program actually uses. Java itself takes around 24 megabytes for just "Hello, World!" If you had actually went over the memory limit, you would receive an MLE verdict.

What are the second, third and fourth test conditions? My code seems to work fine for any number I put in.

Try the following test case:

8008
8008

The expected output is: 1

ty very much! I forgot 0 turned upside down is also a 0 smh...

Right now, your for loop condition (the string length) changes every iteration, when you really want it to be static. You can have a temporary variable to store the condition so it doesn't change @yahashim_coding. P.S. can mods move this comment down to Re:

I'm getting WA for the third and fourth test cases. Are there any conditions (my if/else statements) I missed (or applied to the wrong things)?

So am I, im not sure why though.

At this for loop: for (int i = 0; i < aString.length()/2; i++){, the condition checks for the length of the string after every iteration, even if its size is changed.

Oh, I see. Is it possible to make it so that the for loop's condition is dynamic (changes each time)? As you can see in my code, it depends on the string shrinking and it's similar to recursion (although I think it's more simple). Is the only other way I can do it with this approach be using a recursive method?

Does anyone know what numbers the judge tests for? I'm getting the first 2 correct but not the last 3, and I want to know what I'm supposed to be getting in order to fix my program.

Your solution looks quite a bit over complicated my friend. Try to break it down into simpler conditions and test for each one.
