I wrote a program in C for recycled numbers(the problem of previous 
codejam contest) .it outputs a value of 96 for A=100, B=500 whereas the 
correct answer is 156. Please help me where I am wrong.

#include<stdio.h>

int power(int a,int b)
{
    if(b==0) return 1;
    if(b==1) return a;
    return a*power(a,b-1);
}

int recycled_pairs(int x,int y)
{
    int n=x,d=0,z,pairs=0,nn;
    while(n) {d++;n=n/10;}
    n=x;
    do
    {
        if(n%10)
        {
            n=(n%10)*power(10,d-1)+n/10;
        }
        else
        {
           z=0;nn=n;
           while(!(nn%10)) {z++;nn=nn/10;}
           nn=n; nn=nn/(power(10,z)); nn=nn%10; //nn is here last non-zero 
digit
           n = nn*power(10,d-1)+n/power(10,z+1);
        }
        if(n!=x && n>x && n<=y) pairs++;
    }while(n!=x);
    return pairs;
}

main()
{
   int tc,i,j,A,B,n,m,cnt,nd,x,lead;
   scanf("%d",&tc);
   for(i=0;i<tc;i++)
   {
     scanf("%d %d",&A,&B);
     cnt=0;nd=0;x=A;
     while(x){nd++;x=x/10;}
     for(j=A;j<B;j++)
     {   lead=(j/power(10,nd-1));
         if(lead) {
                    cnt=cnt+recycled_pairs(j,B);
                  }
     }
     printf("case #%d : %d\n",i+1,cnt);
   }
}
