There are 2 convex poligons (coord. are integer numbers) and I need to calculate the minimum distance between them. Who can give me some ideas????

Who can give me some ideas to solve this problem... I foud some information about this sequance of numbers that are called "Golomb's sequence". I know that the formulas for this sequance: "a(n) is nearest integer to (and asymptotic to) tau^(2-tau)*n^(tau-1), where tau is the golden nu...

Maybe you already solved the problem... I solved the problem some time agoand I didn't find any special cases...

I can't find log2() function in Borland C++ that I use. Ok no problem because I'll download gcc and I'll try again. Pls. tell me what about the input. Which of them are correct ?!

Thanx anyway

Ok, but how must look this input? 2 5 6 and output 2^-5 = 3.125E-2 2^-6 = 1.563E-2 or input: 2 5 6 5 6 1 and output 2^-5 = 3.125E-2 2^-6 = 1.563E-2 2^-5 = 3.125E-2 2^-6 = 1.563E-2 2^-1 = 5.000E-1 In fact I tried both but the same result WA...

Pls. tell me what's wrong with my code. I get WA but for 474 problem I got AC I modified the code so it round the result now, that means that for n=6 I obtain 1.563E-2, and for n=7 => 7.813E-3... [cpp] #include <stdio.h> #include <math.h> main() { long n; double u,a,l2; long b; l2=log10((double)2); ...

Can you give me more input (and of course output) sample for this problem? I tried an DP algorithm but I received WA. I think that it's something tricky. How long must be the arrays because maybe this is an other problem... Is is ok with: type vect=array[1.100] of string[30]; var x,y,z:vect; j,i,n,m...

Can you tell me what's wrong with my code. I verified with all this input and it works... The idea is that I calculate the sum of all spaces (sum) and the minimum number of the spaces in a line (min). The oputput is then sum-n*min... Is it ok??? [pascal] program p414; var s:string; sum:longint; n,mi...

so S1=n(n+1)/2 D1=S1-S S2=(n+1)(n+2)/2 D2=S2-S S3=(n+2)(n+3)/2 D3=S3-S => d1/2 < N+1 d2/2 < (2N+1)/2 < N+1 d3/2 < (3N+3)/2 <=2N+3=(N+1)+(N+2 ) a) if D1 is even => exist k between 0 and N so that D1/2 =k (we saw that D1/2 < N/2) => S1-S=2k S1-2k=S 1+2+...+(k-1)+k+(k+1)+...+N-2k=S 1+2+...+(k-1)-k+(k+1...

I can't see all bugs from your code... One that I found it is that the numbers must be "long" not "int" (n<=1000000000). I check your program with values -30..30 and 1000000000 and give the same result as my program wich was accepted...

I use the same ideea...

I deleted the code, I think you can understend why... but I'll try to explain my algorithm... 1. You find the smallest n in that way that 1+2+...+n >= s (where s is the input) For this you have to solve the equation in n: n^2 + n 0 2s = 0 => n= ceil( (sqrt(1+8s) -1)/2 ) 2. Now your solution is n or ...

That was so useful hint for me. Thanks a lot because I was sure that the algorithm it's Ok but . . .

I was accepted now

I solved the problem and it works for all inputs that I can find (in board or in the problem...) but I still receive WA. Can you tell what can be wrong?
