Plus One

Problem

You are given a large integer represented as an integer array digits, where each digits[i] is the ith digit of the integer. The digits are ordered from most significant to least significant in left-to-right order. The large integer does not contain any leading 0’s.

Increment the large integer by one and return the resulting array of digits.

Example 1:

Input: digits = [1,2,3]
Output: [1,2,4]
Explanation: The array represents the integer 123.
Incrementing by one gives 123 + 1 = 124.
Thus, the result should be [1,2,4].

Example 2:

Input: digits = [4,3,2,1]
Output: [4,3,2,2]
Explanation: The array represents the integer 4321.
Incrementing by one gives 4321 + 1 = 4322.
Thus, the result should be [4,3,2,2].

Example 3:

Input: digits = [9]
Output: [1,0]
Explanation: The array represents the integer 9.
Incrementing by one gives 9 + 1 = 10.
Thus, the result should be [1,0].

Constraints:

  • 1 <= digits.length <= 100
  • 0 <= digits[i] <= 9
  • digits does not contain any leading 0’s.

Solution

class Solution {
    public int[] plusOne(int[] digits) {
        var carry = true;

        for (int i = digits.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
            if (digits[i] == 9) {
                digits[i] = 0;
            } else {
                digits[i] = digits[i] + 1;
                carry = false;
                break;
            }
        }

        if (carry) {
            // re-alloc array
            var newArr = new int[digits.length + 1];

            for (var i = 1; i < digits.length; i++) {
                newArr[i - 1] = digits[i];
            }

            newArr[0] = 1;
            return newArr;
        } else {
            return digits;
        }
    }
}

They really do think AI might kill everyone

A recent resignation tweet from an Anthropic researcher has everyone talking about the AI apocalypse again. Among other things, he said:

The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade.

Many people found it hard to believe that AI researchers think this ...

Brushstrokes: Lovis Corinth’s narratives

His style evolved from a mildly painterly realism in 1890, steadily loosened in the early 1900s, then broke up into brushstrokes and marks by the early 1920s. But continued to tell stories effectively.
