Given an integer N, the task is to find the smallest and largest N-digit numbers in Octal Number System.

Examples:

Input: N = 4
Output:
Largest: 7777
Smallest: 1000

Input: N = 2
Output:
Largest: 77
Smallest: 10

Approach: The following steps can be followed to compute the required answer:

Largest Number: To get the largest number, every digit of the number must be maximum. The maximum digit in the Octal number system is ‘7‘. Therefore:

1 Digit Largest Number: '7'
2 Digit Largest Number: '77'
3 Digit Largest Number: '777'
                .
                .
                .
N Digit Largest Number: '777....(N) times'

Smallest Number: The smallest number in Octal number is ‘0‘. The idea is that the first digit needs to be as minimum as possible other than 0 which is ‘1’ and the remaining digits needs to be 0. Therefore:

1 Digit Smallest Number: '1'
2 Digit Smallest Number: '10'
3 Digit Smallest Number: '100'
                .
                .
                .
N Digit Smallest Number: '100....(N - 1) times'

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ program to find the largest
// and smallest N-digit numbers
// in Octal Number System
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to return the largest
// N-digit number in Octal
// Number System
string findLargest(int N)
{
    // Append '7' N times
    string largest = string(N, '7');
 
    return largest;
}
 
// Function to return the smallest
// N-digit number in Octal
// Number System
string findSmallest(int N)
{
    // Append '0' (N - 1) times to 1
    string smallest
        = "1"
          + string((N - 1), '0');
 
    return smallest;
}
 
// Function to print the largest and
// smallest N-digit Octal number
void printLargestSmallest(int N)
{
    cout << "Largest: "
         << findLargest(N) << endl;
    cout << "Smallest: "
         << findSmallest(N) << endl;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int N = 4;
 
    // Function Call
    printLargestSmallest(N);
 
    return 0;
}
