Problem p01989 - Generation 3

Orig Description

A: IP Address (Internet Protocol Address)
Problem
Given a string of digits, count the number of valid ways to split it into an IPv4 address.
A split is valid if and only if:
The string is split into four parts, each containing one to three digits.
Each part is not empty and represents a number from 0 to 255, inclusive, when interpreted as a decimal number.
If a part is 0, then it must be a single digit, '0'.
If a part is not 0, then it must not start with the digit, '0'.
Input Format
S
Constraints
4 \leq |S| \leq 12
The string, S, consists only of digits.
Output Format
Output the number of valid ways to split the given string into an IPv4 address.
Sample Input 1
123456789
Sample Output 1
1
There is only one valid way to split the given string into an IPv4 address: '123.45.67.89'.
Sample Input 2
768426
Sample Output 2
6

Extracted Specification

An integer string S of length between 4 and 12 (inclusive), consisting only of digits.

### Example Input:

```
123456789
```

### Function Signature:
Write a function f(S) that takes in the input.
```python
def f(S: str):
    ''' 
    S: a string of digits
    '''
```

Test Case Generator

Certainly! Below is a test case generator for the given problem statement regarding the valid splits of a string into an IPv4 address:

```python
import random

def generate_ip_string():
    length = random.randint(4, 12)
    ip_string = ''.join(random.choice('0123456789') for _ in range(length))
    return ip_string

def tcgen():
    S = generate_ip_string()
    return S

# Example usage:
for _ in range(5):
    print(tcgen())
```

### Explanation

1. **Function `generate_ip_string`**:
    - This function generates a random string of digits with a length between 4 and 12. This range is chosen to ensure that the generated string meets the problem's constraints.

2. **Function `tcgen`**:
    - This function calls `generate_ip_string` to get a random valid input string and returns it.

### Output Format

The function `tcgen` generates and returns a single string `S` which can be used as an input test case for the problem.

### Example Usage

Running the `tcgen` function will generate different strings of digits that can serve as test cases for the problem. Here's a sample output from running the generator multiple times:

```
'579283'
'1029384756'
'456789'
'1234'
'9876543210'
```

These generated strings can then be used to test the solution to the problem by counting the number of ways each can be split into a valid IPv4 address.
