Digit Sum - Implementation

Memoization details

dp[pos][tight][sum]dp[pos][tight][sum] = count of valid completions. Base case: pos=npos = n returns (sum==S)?1:0(sum == S) ? 1 : 0. Memoize only when tight=falsetight = false. When tight, the valid digit range depends on the specific limit, breaking reuse. Alternative: memoize all states with limit baked in. Use dp[pos][tight][sum]dp[pos][tight][sum] where tight is binary. Trade space for simplicity. Time: O(nS10)O(n \cdot S \cdot 10) where nn is digit count. Space: O(nS)O(n \cdot S) with memoization.

Time complexity: O(logNS)O(\log N \cdot S).

Space complexity: O(logNS)O(\log N \cdot S).
