10920 - Spiral Tap
Could someone give me test cases, I got wrong answer all the time.
Should I use double or long long int??
But I try to use it, and got TLE, I couldn't find the formula, so I try to simulate it.
And if I use int, my program got wrong answer in 3.0s, but if I use long long int, I got TLE in 10.0s.
I couldn't figure out.
But first, give me some more test cases.
Thanks a lot. ^^

hi,
if you got WA with this problem,
there might be some bugs in your code or algorithm;
my program uses only 32bit integers.
and got AC.
it seems that P < 2^31 (well, P <= SZ^2)
plus output also fits in 32bit integer;
some random test cases below:
output:
if you need more, please post again:)
good luck..

about 10920
i cant find any suitable way to solve this problem . can some one give me some hints ??? is there formula needed or simulation is the way to go ???
please help
Thanx in advance
please help
Thanx in advance
HOLD ME NOW ,, I AM 6 FEET FROM THE EDGE AND I AM THINKIN.. MAY BE SIX FEET IS SO FAR DOWN
Heh, I just checked my code to see what I did and found this comment:
I used simulation (~5 secs in Java). The only thing I had "optimized" was that I built a table of squares before starting. I would do it without squares now, but it would still go one-by-one.
Code: Select all
/* this is slow, but works */

i did it O(1) , the upper right corners are all square of consecutive odd numbers(1 9 25 49 81 etc.). i first sqrt the number and get in which interval the number lies(i.e 40 lies in the interval [25, 49) ) four straight lines connect 25 and 49, then it's easy to find in which line, in which position 40 falls. i did sqrt(), so actually my program is not O(1).

Thank you. I got AC using your method.

I also solved this problem by simulation. Instead of simulating it by one step per action, try to simulate it by n steps per action. n will form a sequence {1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, ...}. Good luck!lonelyone wrote:Could someone give me test cases, I got wrong answer all the time.

Re: 10920 - Spiral Tap
What is the right input size of this problem? Since I got RE, I think it is not 100000 as mentioned in problem statement?

Re: 10920 - Spiral Tap
This line from the problem statement is wrong:
SZ is the size of the border of the grid and is an odd number no larger than 100000.
There is a case where SZ is larger than 100000, but not larger than 1000000.

wook,
Thanks for the test cases.
brianfry713 ,
Thanks for the information. That helped. My approach to the problem required that I switch to using the right data type because of this.
