Question :A Defected meter is given with missing number 4
from it's rim.WAP that convert the wrong reading into right one.
Example:
input 100
output 81
hint: (41,24,34,40-49,54,64,74,84,94)is missed.
package vinsol;
/* count 1,2,3,5,6,7,8,9,10============9
* 11,12,13,15,16,17,18,19,20====9
* 21,22,23,25,26,27,28,29,30===9
* 31,32,33,35,36,37,38,39======8
* 50==1
* cases--miss ---correct value
* 10 ----1-----9
* 100----19-----81
* 1000---19*9+99=270---770
* 10000--270*9 +999=3429---6571
* there is pattern ..use this pattern with care.
*note: so input can never be 4,44,444
