Instructions

Let us define a function f(x) by the following: first we add 1 to x, and then while the last digit of the number equals 0, we shall be deleting 0. Let us call 'y' reachable if we can apply f to x (zero or more times), and get y. 102 is reachable from 10098: f(f(f(10098))) = f(f(10099)) = f(101) = f(102). Any number is reachable from itself. You are given a positive number n, count how many integers are reachable from n.

Expected function

func ReachableNumber(n int) int {

}

Usage

Here is a possible program to test your function :

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	piscine ".."
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(piscine.ReachableNumber(1))
	fmt.Println(piscine.ReachableNumber(10))
	fmt.Println(piscine.ReachableNumber(1001))
}

And its output :
