Your output seems to be incorrect.
My AC solution gives 106 lines of output for N=6, and 2353 lines of output for N=8.

for N=6:
102510
104260
105210
105264
105750
....
....
789250
794088
809964
815958
829696
939658

for N=8:
10025010
10042510
10052010
10052064
10081260
10102252

I drop the duplicate numbers from my answer and now I got 106 lines for N=6 and 2353 lines for N=8. Just like yours. But I still got WA. Can anyone help me to check my output. If you will, please leave me a message. Thanks in advance.

Try precalculating the results for 4, 6, and 8, store it somewhere and just print it out when you need to.

If there's a non-precal way of doing this, let me know..

Using my algorithm I always get TLE.
Here is my algo :
(At first I precalculating n=4,6,and 8 and store it at array.

for n=8 :

for (i=1000; i<=9999; i++) {
--for (j=i; j<=9999; j++) {
---- if(i%2 && j%2) continue;
---- else check_vampire_number();
--}
}

Is there another Algo, that not using an iteration and can run
fast enough ?

Thanks,
Red Scorpion :cry:

Use modulo congruence(I find it in the net).

Sure, This is modulo 9 congruence problem.

If x,y is a vampire number then :
x.y == x+y (mod 9)

The solution of the above formula is (x mod 9, y mod 9) :
(0,0), (2,2), (3,6), (5,8), (6,3) , and (8,5).

so you find for (x mod 9, y mod 9) that satisfy the above condition and check whether the number is vampire. Of course that's will reduce the search time.

Good Luck,

10396 Vampire Numbers AC.... but

Post by sohel »

I solved this problem by precalculating all the answers and using a table.
It took around 1.5 minutes to generate all the numbers in my P4 processor.

Is there any efficient way of solving this problem in which table won't be necessary... :-?

... cos I am not satisfied with my method. :oops:
