530 - Binomial Showdown

[Jan]

Code: Select all

nC0 = 1

I think you are missing this case. You are printing 0.

[TripShock]

can someone please tell me what is wrong with this C code...

Code: Select all

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    int n = 0;
    int r = 0;
    unsigned int Result = 1;
    double Temp = 1.0;
    int i = 0;

    while (1)
    {
        scanf("%d %d", &n, &r);
            
        if (n == 0 && r == 0)
            break;
            
        r = n - r < r ? n - r : r;
            
        for (i = r, Temp = 1.0; i >= 1; i--)
            Temp = Temp * ((double)(n--) / i);

        Result = (int)Temp;

        printf("%d\n", Result);
    }

    return 0;
}

I think my code gives the right answers but why WA please give some critical input

Code: Select all

/*problem for solving nCk
Author :-Vivek Sharma  */
#include<iostream>
#include<cstdio>
#include<cmath>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	long double n,k;//binomial coefficient
	while(cin>>n>>k)
	{
		if(n==0&&k==0)
			return 0;
		long double num=1,den=1;
		if(n-k<k)
			k=n-k;
		for(int i=k;i>0;i--)
		{
			num=(n+i-k)*num;
			den=(k-i+1)*den;
		//cout<<num<<" "<<den<<endl;
			if(fmod(num,den)==0)
			{
				num=num/den;
				den=1;
			}
		}
	printf("%.0lf\n",num);

thanx in advance

hello everybody , i got RE and i cant understand why?!...

can i do better with my algo ?...

Read the description again.

Warning: Don't underestimate the problem. The result will fit into an integer - but if all intermediate results arising during the computation will also fit into an integer depends on your algorithm. The test cases will go to the limit.

20000 20000 is a valid case. And your will return nothing but RTE.

[scott1991]

my code doesn't work but i have no idea why. can anyone help please?

Code: Select all

i have done the following code to solve this problem but it wont run properly, and breaks. I am totally confused as to why this is. Can anyone help please? i take the system("pause") out before submitting. 

// Binomial Showdown - 530.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application. 
#include <iostream> 
#include <math.h> 
using namespace std; 

int factorial(int input){ 
int answer = 0, current = 1; 
while (current < input) { 
answer *= current; 
current++; 
} 
return answer; 
} 

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) 
{ 
a: 
int n=1,k=1; 
int o,q,w,answer; 
scanf("%d%d",&n,&k); 
if (n!=0 && k !=0) 
{ 
q=factorial(n); 
w=factorial(k); 
o = q /( w * ( q - w ) ); 
cout<<o<<endl; 
system("PAUSE"); 
goto a; 

} 
else 
{ 
return 0; 
} 
}

Thanks

You should not solve the problem by finding factorial separately. U may get RTE.
Because if n=20 then ? On the other hand using string causes RTE or invalid output.
U may use this algo:

--->Do n!/(r!*(n-r)!)
--->Like, 5C2 = 5! / (2!*(5-2)!) = 5! / (2!*3!) = 5*4*3*2*1/2*1*3*2*1 = 5*2
--->And then multiply the simplest form of nCr (5*2) = 10
--->Get the output.

Hope it will work.

Hi there!. This is my code:

Code: Select all

#include <stdio.h>

long double Factorial(int f, int s) {
    if (f < s) return 1;
    else return f*Factorial(f-1, s);    
}

main() {
    long double n, k;
    while ((scanf("%Lf %Lf\n", &n, &k)>0)&&(n>0))
        if (k > 0)
            printf("%.0Lf\n", Factorial(n, n-k+1)/Factorial(k, 1));
        else printf("0\n");
}

While running at home I get a right output, but the judge always answers: Runtime Error (SIGSEGV). Does anyone know what happend?.

main () should return a value too

Code: Select all

main ()
{
...

return 0;
}

YOU SHOULD initialize answer=1;

because the line

Code: Select all

answer *= current; 

you are always multiplying 0 * n = 0 EVERYTIME!!!

I think it helps!!!

Could any one help me please. Is there any shortcut way to calculate the value. please help me to find the equation.

Code: Select all

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
	long int sum=1,sum1=1,sum2=1,i,m,n,num;
	while(scanf("%ld %d",&m,&n)==2)
	{
		for(i=1;i<=m;i++)
		{
			sum=sum*i;
		}
		for(i=1;i<=n;i++)
		{
			sum1=sum1*i;
		}
		for(i=1;i<=(m-n);i++)
		{
			sum2=sum2*i;
		}
		num=sum/(sum1*sum2);
		printf("%d\n",num);
	}
	return 0;
}

Your algorithm is correct, but it can be made faster. To compute the binomial coefficient of n and k is not necessary to compute n! + k! + (n-k)!. Write it down on a piece of paper and you will realize that some terms can be omitted, so that you can cut down drastically the number of operations.

Just two notes on the code above:

1. The last input pair is n=0, k=0 and shouldn't be processed.
2. If you compute the factorials first and then divide, some of the results can overflow the int type (even long long int). The thing of the problem is to think how to deal with this...

Code Removed After Acc..

[Obaida]

Over comed pervious problem but still got TLE....
please help..... I sort so many calculation. What can I do...?

[mpi]

The problem is here:

Code: Select all

           else
           {
               r=n+1;
               for(i=r;i<=m;i++)
               {
                        sum=sum*i;
               }
               for(i=1;i<=n;i++)
               {
                    sum2=sum2*i;
               }
               num=sum/sum2; 

In the second for, i goes from 1 to m-n (or 2 to m-n)
