geting TL please help i am storing all the solution in array a[1000000]
before reading any input and @ run time i directly print
a[input] which is the correct output what to do

I used same method as you and have AC in 0.030. My precalculation is in O(n). If you have correct answer for n, then you can get correct answer for n+1 in O(1). Try to find it. If you used big int, it is not needed, int64 (in C/C++ long long) is enough.
One warning to this problem: The input is terminated with n less then 3, not with 0 (in lot of problems, input is terminated with 0). And surely it is not 0, I have one WA because of that

Thanks for the tip. I was trying to brute-force every possible solution but it was too slow. I will think in a Dynamic Programming solution now.
Also, if a moderator reads this post I would suggest him to do two things:
1) Change the title of this thread to "11401 - Triangle counting" instead of "11401" alone.
2) Open a new subforum for volume CXIV. Clearly this problem is not from Volume CXIII.
I hope my comment is not an offense for anyone.

Thanks.
For temporary variable i was using int instead of long long. that was overflowing.

Hi,
I think that my algorithm is correct, but I still get WA.
Here is my source code :
Code: Select all
#include <iostream>
#include <map>
using namespace std;
typedef unsigned long ul;
typedef unsigned long long ull;
typedef long double ld;
int main()
{
map<ul, ld> S;
//ld S[1000001];
ld R;
S[3] = 0;
S[4] = 1;
ul b;
for(ul n=5; n<=1000000; ++n)
{
b = n/2+1;
R = n*(n-1)-(n+1)*(n-b)-b*(b-1);
S[n] = S[n-1] + R;
}
ul n;
cin >> n;
ull res;
while(n>=3)
{
if(n==0)
{
cout << 0 << endl;
}
else
{
res = (ull)S[n];
cout << res << endl;
}
cin >> n;
}
return 0;
}
I need some help ! Thanks ...

For n = 1 000 000, the output I get is :

Ok,ok ...
Now I got AC. The problem was on overflow of the value "b", which is not a double, but I unsigned long long ...
I submitted totally 8 times ...

You can remove your code from the post. (don't spoil the fun to solve a problem

I don't know why this is WA!!!!!!!

Check the following line...
Since i, b both are normal integers so, overflow will occur if i/b is too big. So, declare i and b as 64 bit integer.

My AC code runs each test case in constant time with O(max_n) pre-processing.
The output will fit in a long long unsigned.
