It's not too hard to see the recurrence relations.. and once you got that, you can easily solve it using DP...

This is like a really simple textbook counting example. It extends how you would do fib sequence.. so maybe you should consult a textbook or online... if you still have no idea, feel free to message me..

Please tell me more about the recurrence relations. I can't find it. :-?

Well, these numbers very similar to Fibonacci numbers, but they are not the same. So the recurence is
f[1]:=2;
f[2]:=5;
f[3]:=13;
f[n]:=2*f[n-1]+f[n-2]+f[n-3];

Could you tell me how you get this recurency ?
I try to find this recurrency , but I fails ... and I think about more complicated version of this ;)

Best regards

If you really want to get Accepted, try to think about possible, and after that - about impossible ... and you'll get, what you want ....

This might be a little late, but i just thought i'll try and explain his algo..
let f(n) denote the no of ways to make numbers with the sum n. The number of ways to make n is the same as the number of ways to make n-1 + no of ways to make n-2 + no of ways to make + no of ways to make n-3 + no of ways to make n-4. However since 4 = 1, it is basically

f(n) = 2 * f(n-1) + f(n-2) + f(n-3)

Well, I've got the recursion function going for this problem, and my formula works really well. I saved all the values of f(n) into an array which works out or the values of n >0 and n<1000 before the user inputs the number, so when n is called in the recursion function, it calls the array, array[n]. I found this method to be dramatically faster than calculating the value on-the-fly.

I'm still suffering problems. When I type in the number 999, the output number is something like 384 digits long. Because there are such large numbers, it takes a while for the computer to calculate every value for n.
How would I speed up my program. I don't know much about data structures, so any help/direction would be greatly appreciated. I always get time limit exceeded:(

I'm so close, but no cigar!

Thanks

quick help

Post by chervensky »

hey
use an array saveF[10001], to save already the computed values of f(k)

otherwise you compute the same values over and over, and it is veeeery slow

Post by chervensky »

also, there are going to be very big numbers (being 64 bit ) after k becomes 70-80

The recurrence of 10198

Post by Charlla »

Hy Dmytro_Chernysh,

I would like to know if you got Accepted using this recurence:

f[1]:=2;
f[2]:=5;
f[3]:=13;
f[n]:=2*f[n-1]+f[n-2]+f[n-3].

I'm asking because I tried do use it, but I got WA.
Maybe, I am having problems like ravingavin. The numbers became very big and their representation can be done in a wrong way. My code is in C++. What can I do to solve this problem?

Besides that, I have a doubt:

when n=4, the output is 2 or 33?

And, can you send me some input examples?


Thanks,

Charlla

--------
My code is:


#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
//#include<io.h>


unsigned long vetor_T[1000];

int cont;

void calcula()
{

vetor_T[0]=2;
vetor_T[1]=5;
vetor_T[2]=13;

while (cont<1000)
{

vetor_T[cont]=2*vetor_T[cont-1]+vetor_T[cont-2]+vetor_T[cont-3];
cont++;
}
}


int main()
{
int n;

cont=3;


calcula();

#ifndef ONLINE_JUDGE
close (0); open ("DATA.IN", O_RDONLY);
close (1); open ("DATA.OUT", O_WRONLY | O_CREAT, 0600);
#endif

while (scanf ("%d",&n)>0){

printf ("%lu\n", vetor_T[n-1]);

}
return 0;
}


And the numbers I tried (my input) are:

Re: big nubmers

Post by Charlla »

Hey,

How can I solve this problem??? I mean, what can I do when, after k becomes 70-80, and the numbers become very big (being 64 bit )????

Thanks,

Charla

My code is:


#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include<io.h>


unsigned long vetor_T[1000];

int cont;

void calcula()
{

vetor_T[0]=2;
vetor_T[1]=5;
vetor_T[2]=13;

while (cont<1000)
{

vetor_T[cont]=2*vetor_T[cont-1]+vetor_T[cont-2]+vetor_T[cont-3];
cont++;
}
}


int main()
{
int n;

cont=3;


calcula();

#ifndef ONLINE_JUDGE
close (0); open ("DATA.IN", O_RDONLY);
close (1); open ("DATA.OUT", O_WRONLY | O_CREAT, 0600);
#endif

while (scanf ("%d",&n)>0){
printf ("%lu\n", vetor_T[n-1]);

}
return 0;
}

Hi Charlla,

You do have a mistake -- you should have used "long arigfmetic" instead of just long long. For example, n=30
1186714748389

Obviously, for n=1000 the number is really huge

Hope you understood :-)
