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 :

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.    

Checking a fraction x/y contains infinite number of numerals after the decimal point

Infinite fractions \[ \text{When is }\ x \mid y \text{ ?} \ \] x can be represent as \[ {x} = \prod_{i=1}^n p_{i}^{k} \] \[ \text{where}\ p_{i} =\text{ is a prime factor of } {x} \text{ and } {x} \text{ has } {n} \text{ prime factors.} \] \[ \text{Example: }\ {x} = {12} = {2}^{2} \times {3} \] We can represent the y by the same way. x divides y ( x is a divisor of y ) if and only if all prime factors of x are available in y prime factorization and each prime factor (p) power (p^a) in x factorization is less than equal to prime factor (p) power (p^b) in y factorization (a <= b). Or we can say that when GCD(x, y) = x  , x divides y. \[ \text{When is }\ x\nmid y \text{ ?} \ \] y = q * x + r [ where r < x ] When reminder (r) is not equal to 0, y is not divisible by x.  Only when r is not equal to zero there are numbers after the decimal point of fraction p/q. How to get numbers after the decimal point of a fraction ? We recursively do it until MOD = 0. init...

SRM 732 Round 1

I woke up early today for SRM ( 7 AM ) . I solved 2 problems DIV-2 Easy and Medium. DIV-2 easy is just an implementation problem.  Problem Statement of DIV-2 easy      You found a deck of slightly non-traditional playing cards. Each card has a value and a suit. The value of each card is a positive integer, and the suit is a lowercase English letter ('a'-'z'). We will use (v, s) to denote a card with value v and suit s. You want to know whether the deck is perfect. A perfect deck has two properties: All cards in the deck are distinct. (I.e., no two cards share both value and suit.) For any two cards (v1, s1) and (v2, s2) in the deck, the deck also contains the cards (v1, s2) and (v2, s1). You are given the following data: ...

1185. Wall Timus Online Judge

The problem states that, A greedy king wants to build a wall around his castle with minimum cost and wall should not come closer to the castle than a certain distance. Given N Cartesian 2D points and minimum distance between castle and wall is  L .  To solve the problem , At first I build a convex hull using the points .  The wall should be L distance from castle . So, we need another 4 * acos(0.0) * L length ( Summing up all round length of each point of the convex hull ) .  Problem ::  Wall
