Digit Dynamic Programming problem

We will solve a DP problem today.

dp state is (index, tight).
where index is the position where we currently are (consider the process of constructing solution from left to right).
where tight is a variable which states the number which we have constructed up to now, is strictly less/greater or equal. Tight is false, means it has become less or greater. but true when equal.

Ex. 1. http://www.spoj.com/problems/SQAMOD/
find no of binary numbers less than a given n digit number S which have sum of squares of digits modulo 3 to be zero,
Solution:
1. dp (index, int sumModulo3, int tight):
      So let us see the transitions to different states. You can understand that by reading the code.

    1. It visits all the possible States (10^5 * 3 *2).
