Editorial for Spring Coding Bowl '22 P1 - Student Numbers

Remember to use this editorial only when stuck, and not to copy-paste code from it. Please be respectful to the problem author and editorialist.
Submitting an official solution before solving the problem yourself is a bannable offence.

Take in the student number as an array of integers. For example, 123456 $\to [1,2,3,4,5,6]$ ~\to [1,2,3,4,5,6]~. Replace every $0$ ~0~ with a $10$ ~10~, $[9,0,9,8,9,0] \to [9,10,9,8,9,10]$ ~[9,0,9,8,9,0] \to [9,10,9,8,9,10]~. Finally, check if every adjacent digit in the new array has an absolute difference equal to $1$ ~1~ and print accordingly. Note that other solutions exist.

Time Complexity: $\mathcal{O}(1)$ ~\mathcal{O}(1)~
