1849. Splitting a String Into Descending Consecutive Values

https://leetcode.com/problems/splitting-a-string-into-descending-consecutive-values

Description

You are given a string s that consists of only digits.

Check if we can split s into two or more non-empty substrings such that the numerical values of the substrings are in descending order and the difference between numerical values of every two adjacent substrings is equal to 1.

  • For example, the string s = "0090089" can be split into ["0090", "089"] with numerical values [90,89]. The values are in descending order and adjacent values differ by 1, so this way is valid.

  • Another example, the string s = "001" can be split into ["0", "01"], ["00", "1"], or ["0", "0", "1"]. However all the ways are invalid because they have numerical values [0,1], [0,1], and [0,0,1] respectively, all of which are not in descending order.

Return true if it is possible to split s​​​​​​ as described above*, or* false otherwise.

A substring is a contiguous sequence of characters in a string.

Example 1:

**Input:** s = "1234"
**Output:** false
**Explanation:** There is no valid way to split s.

Example 2:

**Input:** s = "050043"
**Output:** true
**Explanation:** s can be split into ["05", "004", "3"] with numerical values [5,4,3].
The values are in descending order with adjacent values differing by 1.

Example 3:

**Input:** s = "9080701"
**Output:** false
**Explanation:** There is no valid way to split s.

Example 4:

**Input:** s = "10009998"
**Output:** true
**Explanation:** s can be split into ["100", "099", "98"] with numerical values [100,99,98].
The values are in descending order with adjacent values differing by 1.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= s.length <= 20

  • s only consists of digits.
