But I don't know what's wrong with my algorithm...
Can you help me?
Thanks

The reason is that it should be done this way:
Having computed the number of ways to do it with k coins, compute the number of ways of doing it with k+1 coins. That means, you must add only 1 coin at a time. PS: From this point of view, it's hard to interpret what your code does.
Also, you should change "long m[7489]" to "long m[7490]".
Good luck!

674 TLE
I know my algorithm is bad also wanna know how to use DP in my algorithm.
Thanks in advance.

AC makes me feels good,
But WA makes me thinks hard.

Hi,
From your code it looks like you are using brute force. And that should obviously get TLE.
Implementation of DP:
1) declare an int array of size 7500
2) initialize all the elements with 0
3) set Array[0] = 1; --- because there is only one way of making zero ie
'by not choosing any coin'.
4) for every coin run a loop from j = 1 to 7500
set Array[ coinvalue + j] += Array[j];
5) END
Hope it helps.

yes these are the coin value.what is coinvalue? 1,5,10,25,50?
the idea is S[7500+50], that is S[8000] can be made by numer of waysbut when j=7500
how can j+coin refers? (like S[7500+50])
S[8000] has already been made, plus the number of ways S[7500] can be made.
Because, of all the ways we made S[7500], to each if we add 50 we will get S[8000].

I think you're asking shouldn't S[7500 + 50] get RTE.
The answer is yes
your loop for 'j' should be something like this:
Hope I get your question right & the answer helps.
The answer is yes
your loop for 'j' should be something like this:
Code: Select all
for (j = 0; j + coin <= 7500; ++j)
Please help me

674 recursion but stack overflow
plz help
i think i can solve

i can only solve the problem under 277
i try to change 'int way' and 'int coin_mount[N]'
