880 - Cantor Fractions

[nymo]

I have tried several test cases and get correct answers. I am using long long data type. still WAs. Can someone, please, provide some more test cases...say, for large numbers whose output is hard to check by hand? THANKS

Hi, I got ACC , ... a silly mistake

[himanshu]

I get TLE for this.

Code: Select all

#include<iostream>
#include<cmath>
long long sum_n(long long n)
{
    return (n*(n+1))/2;
}

int main()
{
    long long i;
    while(std::cin >> i)
    {
        long long n;
        for(n = (long long)(sqrt(i)); sum_n(n) < i; n*=2)
            ;
        n /= 2;
        for(; sum_n(n) < i; n++)
            ;
        n--;
        long long x = i-sum_n(n); long long y = n-x+2;
        std::cout << y << '/' << x << std::endl;
    }
    return 0;
}

Please help.

Also what is the explanation for the following formula posted by dovier_antonio earlier in this thread :-

Code: Select all

x = (sqrt(1+8*n)-1)/2;
y = x*(x+1)/2;

Thank You,
HG

Ok, in reply to Himanshu. . .Hope that you've got acc by the mean time but it's for other guys who will ask the same question . . . .ok, the first line----- "x = (sqrt(1+8*n)-1)/2;" solves a quadratic equation for n and finds the value of x, where n is expressed as (0~x)?i.in other words we can say that it solves the equation n~x*(x+1)/2. . .I assume you all know what this equation expresses. . . And the second line ----- y = x*(x+1)/2; find the maximum position of number on the same diagonal of n. . .the rest is on you. . .

Where is the mistake?

Code: Select all

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
int main() {
	unsigned long int k, r, n;
	while(scanf("%u",&n) != EOF) {
  	k = (unsigned long int)(sqrt(2 * n) + 0.5);
   	r = k * (k + 1)/ 2 - n;
   	printf("%u/%u\n",1+r,k-r);
	}
	return 0;
}

I would like to strongly emphasize that UVa264 and UVa880 are not one and the same: for instance, for input

Code: Select all

7

you would have

Code: Select all

TERM 7 IS 1/4

and

Code: Select all

4/1

respectively.

Hi, i made it in C:

#include <stdio.h>

void cantor(int x)
{
int i = 0;
int somme = 0;
int max;

while (somme < x){
somme = somme + i;
i++;
}

somme = somme - i +2;

i = somme;
for(max = 1; somme-max > 0; max++)
somme = somme-max;

printf("%d/%d\n",max-x+i,1+x-i);

}

int main()
{
int x;

while (scanf("%d",&x)==1)
cantor(x);

return 0;
}

i have TLE...

My code got AC in 0.056 seconds.
Im not sure about the range of the given integers in this problem. As far as I can remember, I used long long int to get AC first, but when I tried with int, I got WA. My Accepted code gives the following outputs for the following inputs:

plamplam's output is wrong, annhy's output is correct.

My code got AC in 0.056 seconds.
Im not sure about the range of the given integers in this problem. As far as I can remember, I used long long int to get AC first, but when I tried with int, I got WA. My Accepted code gives the following outputs for the following inputs:

I solved it with int in O(1). I used conversion to long long when multiplication exceeds int range.
