That was my idea. First generate in a vector all the possible numbers in the sequence (max 1000000), then only use iterators to get the numbers and give the distance. For a small sequence of number it works, my problem is to generate greater numbers because i have a "for from i=1 to n" and check if "n % 1 == 0". So it takes much time.sohel wrote:The method you described should work. However, you need to pre-process all the answers and give O(1) output for each case.
I didn't understand. The divisor sequence will be the prime numbers? Then i create a set with 0 1 0 1 in each position?MRH wrote:Hi " ItaloSpedini " This is very simple Number Theory Problem I sloved This problem this way :
1=> generate the divisor sequence
2=>from 1to 1000000 set a vector with 0 and 1
3=> cumulative sum of set vector
Then O(1) produce the output.
hope it help you.

If u didn't then go to steven halim's site and try to find the number of total divisor of an integer that way using prime factorization. It's a bit tricky to do it within time limit but i think u can do it if u give the matter a deep thought. U can consult algorthmist too.
Make it a function and find all the numbers of the sequence. Keep the record in a boolean array or ur the way u want. Then follow MRH's way. If ur problem is how to do cumulative sum, for that u make a integer array. Set the 1st element to be zero. Then for 1 to 1000000, make a for loop and check like if the num is within the sequence then add 1 with the previous element if not it is equal to previous one. The O(1) process is like
no.of num in sequence= nod -nod[a-1] /* a and b are given ranges, a=<b */
Hope that helps if u didn't solve the problem yet.
