The problem

You are given a string word that consists of digits and lowercase English letters. You will replace every non-digit character with a space.

Example

Input
word = "a123bc34d8ef34"
Output
3
Explanation
The three different integers are "123", "34", and "8". Notice that "34" is only counted once.

Python solution

Python
class Solution:
    def numDifferentIntegers(self, word: str) -> int:
        s = set()
        i, n = 0, len(word)
        while i < n:
            if word[i].isdigit():
                while i < n and word[i] == '0':
                    i += 1
                j = i
                while j < n and word[j].isdigit():
                    j += 1
                s.add(word[i:j])
                i = j
            i += 1
        return len(s)
