Calculating 10^18th Fibonacci number by Matrix Expo Feat Spoj TSHOW2 - Fibonacci brain

Problem  : TSHOW2 - Fibonacci brain
Solution :
We can easily calculate nth Fibonacci number by dynamic programming using the recurrence relation - \[ { f(x) } = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} { f(x-1) + f(x-2) } & \mbox{if } x > 2 \\ 1 & \mbox{if } x = 2 \\ 0 & \mbox{if } x = 1 \end{array} \right. \]

f[1] = 0
f[2] = 1

for i in { 3 ... n }
f[i] = f[i-1] + f[i-2]

But we cannot calculate Fibonacci number by dynamic programming when n is large like 10^18.

We can easily calculate large 10^18 Fibonacci number by matrix exponentiation.
We can write that,
\[ \begin{bmatrix} {1} & {1} \\ {1} & {0} \end{bmatrix} ^ {n} = \begin{bmatrix} { f(n+1) } & { f(n) } \\ { f(n) } & { f(n-1) } \end{bmatrix} \]

n is large , using binary exponentiation we can calculate nth Fibonacci number by O(log n) complexity.

Gray Code

A Gray code is a list of all 2^n  bit strings of length , where any two successive strings differ in exactly one bit (i.e., their Hamming distance is one).  source   The problem is, how to generate Gray Code for a given length n.  When n = 2 , Gray Code :  00  01  11  10 When n = 3, Gray Code : 000 001 011 010 110 111 101 100 000(0) position Gray code string 000  001(1) -> 001  010(2) -> 011  011(3) -> 010 .....  Key observation -  For the  K position, the Gray code string is S .   if i and (i+1)- th bit of K is equal then i- th char of S will be  ' 0 ', otherwise, it will be ' 1 '.   Code :               int n; cin >> n;     for(int i = 0; i < (1 << n); i++) {         int value =  ( i ^ (i >> 1) ) ;         string s = "";         for(int j =...

Histogram - LOJ

It's a well-known problem and the well-known solution is using a stack. I tried to solve it by segment tree( iterative version for building tree ) and got TLE. Hope I can optimize the code.  TLE CODE 

Codeforces Global Round 6

Codeforces Global Round 6 A. Competitive Programmer According to the problem statement you are given some digits ( 0 - 9 ) , is it possible to make a number using all digits which is divisible by 60 ? To make a number from the digits which is divisible by 60, we need a zero and more than one even digits and digits sum must be divisible by 3. Code : B. Dice Tower According to the the picture given in the problem the sum of any two oppsite side of the dice is 7. Accept top dice , sum of all visible side pips in a dice is 21 - 7 = 14. We can make a tower , which all visible pips is equal to n , if n = 14 * d + 14 + pip n = 14 * D + pip where pip = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 } Code :
