10830 - A New Function

Programmer · Post by **Programmer** » Mon Mar 21, 2005 6:05 pm

Hello.Can somebody tell me how to solve this problem.
I find formula for SOD.I find formula for CSOD too but it takes N operations.I do it another way and came up to the problem of finding sum of reminders 1 to n.
Please help me give some hint.

I don't know what formulas your have now so I just talk about my logic.
Although the detail may be different from each person, but the logic should be similar:

To find CSOD you can sum some function O(1) f(x, N) from 1 to N, that is,
CSOD(N) = f(1,N)+f(2,N)+...+f(N,N)

In my code, the values f(x,N) will repeat many times when x > root(N), so I don't add each term f(x,N) slowly when x > root(N). Instead, I find out how many values of x will make f(x,N) = k of a certain value in O(1), then I use multiplication to sum these f(x,N) to the answer.

I've tested my solution with bruteforce for N < 1000000, but I cannot get the right answer for 2 billion. I also cannot detect any overflows (or underflows).. can someone lend me some insight and/or test cases? Thanks.

Hello.
I dont think it's hard to find this formula.
CSOD(n)=P-n+1 P=((n div 2)-1)*2+((n div 3)-1)*3 +...+((n div n)-1)*n
But for calculating it I must do N operations,it is too slow.Can this formula calculated faster?

My previous post is talking about that.

I don't understand your previous post well.

I find out how many values of x will make f(x,N) = k of a certain value in O(1)

For wich K are you doing it?What is time complexity of your program?
Thanks.

In my previous post I don't want to give too much detail as I don't want to write spoiler..... Here is the detail:

Code: Select all

CSOD(n)=((n div 2)-1)*2+((n div 3)-1)*3 +...+((n div n)-1)*n 
       =(n div 2)*2 + (n div 3)*3 + ..... + (n div n)*n - sum(2,n)

The value of "n div x" will repeat when x becomes larger, and when x > root(N), n div x <= root(N), and I just try all such n div x as value K.

And so the complexity is root(N)

Now i got it.
Thanks.

What's the answer for:

Code: Select all

1000000
2000000
1000000000

I get:

Code: Select all

322466618438
1289867461381
322467032612360629

Well, my answer is

Code: Select all

Case 1: 322466618438
Case 2: 1289867461381
Case 3: 322467032612360629

Surely you can see the difference

(In other words, the numbers are correct, but are you writing also the case numbers correctly?)

I obtain the same results,

What is the output for this, please:

Code: Select all

Thanks in advance

"Input is terminated by a line where the value of n=0. This line should not be processed."

I didn't read the problem very well the first time and got some WA because of this. The sample input doesn't have a 0 at the end

Input:

Code: Select all

Output:

Code: Select all

Case 1: 0
Case 2: 1289868132101422932
Case 3: 585815512116088361

Ooops!

"Input is terminated by a line where the value of n=0. This line should not be processed."

You are right.
That was my problem.

Thanks!

misof: thanks, actually, I wasn't on a machine I can code on, so I wrote it in PERL to see if my formula's working. Actually, I never submitted, because I thought it didn't match the sample output, but I finally read the sample input correctly, and it's 200 million, not 2 billion! Talk about stupid mistake!

Andrey · Post by **Andrey** » Wed Mar 23, 2005 11:13 am

For this input

Code: Select all

I get this output:

Code: Select all

Case 1: 0
Case 2: 0
Case 3: 0
Case 4: 2
Case 5: 2
Case 6: 7
Case 7: 7
Case 8: 13
Case 9: 16
Case 10: 23

I think it's right, isn't it???
