Here is my code for uva 3n+1 problem:
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>
using namespace std;
int main(){
ios_base::sync_with_stdio(false);
while(1){
long long n, n2, i, iConst, maximum;
vector<long long> vCycle;
cin >> n >> n2;
if(n < n2){
for(long long i = n; i <= n2; i++){
long long j = 1;
iConst = i;
while(iConst > 1){
if(iConst%2 == 0)
iConst = iConst / 2;
else
iConst = (iConst*3)+1;
j++;
}
vCycle.push_back(j);
}
}else{
for(long long i = n2; i <= n; i++){
long long j = 1;
iConst = i;
while(iConst > 1){
if(iConst%2 == 0)
iConst = iConst / 2;
else
iConst = (iConst*3)+1;
j++;
}
vCycle.push_back(j);
}
}
maximum = *max_element(vCycle.begin(), vCycle.end());
cout << n << " " << n2 << " " << maximum << endl;
}
return 0;
}
But the judge is giving the following error: "Time limit exceed".
Is there anything in my code which is using much CPU?
What's wrong with my program?

This is not the way, for few numbers it takes a lot of iterations to get the final output where they are already precalculated.
For Example
for n = 10,
10

16

4
2
1
for n = 20,
20
10
5

for n = 160,

Look at how many numbers are getting repeated, you already calculated the number of steps for 10, when calculating for n = 20, we need not calculate it again when n becomes 10 as we have done it already.
I suggest you to maintain a cache of calculated numbers and check each time if the value is pre-calculated, if yes just give the number + the existing count.
else do the math.
This is a Project Euler problem. Longest Collatz sequence is what it is called. They need more than code to solve them.
It is timing out because your algorithm is quite inefficient.
Just think of the test case given with the problem description -
22 11 34 17 52 26 13 40 20 10 5 16 8 4 2 1
When you are generating the sequence for finding the answer for 22, you can also calculate the answers for every other number in the sequence.
int foo( int n )
{
if ( ans[n] has been calculated )
{
return ans[n]
}
if ( n is odd )
{
ans[n] = foo( 3n + 1 ) + 1
}
else
{
ans[n] = foo( n / 2 ) + 1
}
return ans[n]
}
where ans is an array of size 10^6.
As far as the task of finding the maximum between any 2 numbers is concerned, you can use a segment tree rather than simply finding the maximum element using a linear search

Given the binary representation of an integer as a string s, return the number of steps to reduce it to 1 under the following rules:
If the current number is even, you have to divide it by 2.
If the current number is odd, you have to add 1 to it.
It is guaranteed that you can always reach one for all test cases.
Step 1) 13 is odd, add 1 and obtain 14.
Step 2) 14 is even, divide by 2 and obtain 7.
Step 3) 7 is odd, add 1 and obtain 8.
Step 4) 8 is even, divide by 2 and obtain 4.
Step 5) 4 is even, divide by 2 and obtain 2.
Step 6) 2 is even, divide by 2 and obtain 1.
My input = 1111011110000011100000110001011011110010111001010111110001
Expected output = 85
My output = 81
For the above input, the output is supposed to be 85. But my output shows 81. For other test cases it
seems to be giving the right answer. I have been trying all possible debugs, but I am stuck.
#include <iostream>
#include <string.h>
#include <vector>
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
string s =
"1111011110000011100000110001011011110010111001010111110001";
long int count = 0, size;
unsigned long long int dec = 0;
size = s.size();
// cout << s[size - 1] << endl;
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
{
// cout << pow(2, size - i - 1) << endl;
if (s[i] == '0')
continue;
// cout<<int(s[i])-48<<endl;
dec += (int(s[i]) - 48) * pow(2, size - 1 - i);
}
// cout << dec << endl;
// dec = 278675673186014705;
while (dec != 1)
{
if (dec % 2 == 0)
dec /= 2;
else
dec += 1;
count += 1;
}
cout << count;
return 0;
}
This line:
pow(2, size - 1 - i)
Can face precision errors as pow takes and returns doubles.
Luckily, for powers base 2 that won't overflow unsigned long longs, we can simply use bit shift (which is equivalent to pow(2, x)).
Replace that line with:
1LL<<(size - 1 - i)
So that it should look like this:
dec += (int(s[i]) - 48) * 1ULL<<(size - 1 - i);
And we will get the correct output of 85.
Note: as mentioned by #RSahu, you can remove (int(s[i]) - 48), as the case where int(s[i]) == '0' is already caught in an above if statement. Simply change the line to:
dec += 1ULL<<(size - 1 - i);
The core problem has already been pointed out in answer by #Ryan Zhang.
I want to offer some suggestions to improve your code and make it easier to debug.
The main function has two parts -- first part coverts a string to number and the second part computes the number of steps to get the number to 1. I suggest creating two helper functions. That will allow you to debug each piece separately.
int main()
{
string s = "1111011110000011100000110001011011110010111001010111110001";
unsigned long long int dec = stringToNumber(s);
cout << "Number: " << dec << endl;
// dec = 278675673186014705;
int count = getStepsTo1(dec);
cout << "Steps to 1: " << count << endl;
return 0;
}
Iterate over the string from right to left using std::string::reverse_iterator. That will obviate the need for size and use of size - i - 1. You can just use i.
unsigned long long stringToNumber(string const& s)
{
size_t i = 0;
unsigned long long num = 0;
for (auto it = s.rbegin(); it != s.rend(); ++it, ++i )
{
if (*it != '0')
{
num += 1ULL << i;
}
}
return num;
}
Here's the other helper function.
int getStepsTo1(unsigned long long num)
{
long int count = 0;
while (num != 1 )
{
if (num % 2 == 0)
num /= 2;
else
num += 1;
count += 1;
}
return count;
}

I have a problem with one task, so if you could help me a little bit.
Numbers are "lucky" or "unlucky". Number is "lucky" just if every
digit 7
or every digit is 4. So "lucky" numbers are for example 4, 44, 7, 77.
"Unlucky" are the others numbers.
You will get sequence of n-elements and number K. Your task is to
compute number of all possible k-elements subsequence, which fulfill a one
condition. The condition is that in the subsequence mustn't be two same "lucky"
numbers. So for example there mustn't 77 and 77...
Output number of all possible k-elements subsequence mod 10^9+7
0 < N,K < 10^5
Few examples:
Input:
5 2
7 7 3 7 77
Output:
7
Input:
5 3
3 7 77 7 77
Output:
4
Input:
34 17
14 14 14 ... 14 14 14
Output:
333606206
I have code which seems to work, but it is too slow when I try to compute binomial coefficient. I'm using map. In string I store number in string format. In second - int - part of the map is number which represents how many times was that number(in the first map parameter) used. So now I have stored every "unlucky" numbers stored together. Also every same "lucky" number is together. When I have it stored like this, I just compute all multiplications. For example:
Input
5 2
3 7 7 77 7
Are stored like this: map["other"] = 1 map["7"] = 3 map["77"] = 1
Because k = 2 --> result is: 1*3 + 1*1 + 1*3 = 7.
I think problem is with computing binomial coefficient. For the third example it needs to compute (34 choose 17) and it is computing very long time.I've found this article and also this , but I don't understand how they are solving this problem.
My code:
#include<iostream>
#include<string>
#include<map>
#include <algorithm>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
int binomialCoeff(int n, int k)
{
// Base Cases
if (k == 0 || k == n)
return 1;
// Recur
return binomialCoeff(n - 1, k - 1) + binomialCoeff(n - 1, k);
}
int main()
{
int n, k;
cin >> n >> k;
map<string, int> mapa; // create map, string is a number, int represents number of used string-stored numbers ---> so if 7 was used two times, in the map it will be stored like this mapa["7"] == 2 and so on)
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) // I will load number as string, if this number is "lucky" - digist are all 7 or all 4
{ // every "unlucky" numbers are together, as well as all same "lucky" numbers ---> so 77 and 77 will be stored in one element....
string number;
cin >> number;
char digit = number[0];
bool lucky = false;
if (digit == '7' || digit == '4')
lucky = true;
for (int j = 1; j < number.length(); j++) {
if (digit != '7' && digit != '4')
break;
if (number[j] != digit) {
lucky = false;
break;
}
}
if (lucky)
mapa[number]++;
else
mapa["other"]++;
}
vector<bool> v(mapa.size());
bool lack = k > mapa.size(); //lack of elements in map --> it is when mapa.size() < k; i. e. number of elements in array can't make k-element subsequence.
int rest = lack ? k - mapa.size() + 1 : 1; // how many elements from "unlucky" numbers I must choose, so it makes base for binomial coefficient (n choose rest)
if (lack) //if lack is true, different size of vector
fill(v.begin() + mapa.size(), v.end(), true);
else
fill(v.begin() + k, v.end(), true);
int *array = new int[mapa.size()]; //easier to manipulate with array for me
int sum = 0;
int product = 1;
int index = 0;
for (map<string, int> ::iterator pos = mapa.begin(); pos != mapa.end(); ++pos) // create array from map
{
if (lack && pos->first == "other") { //if lack of elements in map, the number in elemets representing "unlucky" numbers will be binomial coefficient (mapa["other] choose rest)
array[index++] = binomialCoeff(mapa["other"], rest);
continue;
}
array[index++] = pos->second;
}
do { // this will create every posible multiplication for k-elements subsequences
product = 1;
for (int i = 0; i < mapa.size(); ++i) {
if (!v[i]) {
product *= array[i];
}
}
sum += product;
} while (next_permutation(v.begin(), v.end()));
if (mapa["other"] >= k && mapa.size() > 1) { // if number of "unlucky" numbers is bigger than k, we need to compute all possible k-elements subsequences just from "unlucky" number, so binomial coefficient (mapa["other] choose k)
sum += binomialCoeff(mapa["other"], k);
}
cout << sum % 1000000007 << endl;
}
I'm currently learning C++.
I am looking for Hamming numbers (numbers whose prime divisors are less or equal to 5).
When I input a number n, the program should output the n-th Hamming number.
Following numbers are input, and output:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 ...
1 2 3 4 5 6 8 9 10 12 15 16 18 20 24 ...
Finding Hamming numbers looks easy, but increasing the input number increases run time cost exponentially.
If I input over 1000, it almost costs over 1 second,
and over 1200, it almost costs over 5 seconds.
This is the code I wrote:
while (th > 1)
{
h++;
x = h;
while (x % 2 == 0)
x /= 2;
while (x % 3 == 0)
x /= 3;
while (x % 5 == 0)
x /= 5;
if (x == 1)
th--;
}
So I would like to know how I can find the answer faster.
This algorithm doesn't seem to be very good.
Thanks in advance.
Your code is good if you want to check whether one particular number is a hamming number. When you want to build a list of hamming numbers, it is inefficient.
You can use a bottom-up approach: Start with 1 and then recursively multiply that with 2, 3, and 5 to get all hamming numbers up to a certain limit. You have to take care of duplicates, because you can get to 6 by way of 2·3 and 3·2. A set can take care of that.
The code below will generate all hamming numbers that fit into a 32-bit unsigned int. It fills a set by "spreading" to all hamming numbers. Then it constructs a sorted vector from the set, which you can use to find a hamming number at a certain index:
#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <set>
#include <vector>
typedef unsigned int uint;
const uint umax = 0xffffffff;
void spread(std::set<uint> &hamming, uint n)
{
if (hamming.find(n) == hamming.end()) {
hamming.insert(n);
if (n < umax / 2) spread(hamming, n * 2);
if (n < umax / 3) spread(hamming, n * 3);
if (n < umax / 5) spread(hamming, n * 5);
}
}
int main()
{
std::set<uint> hamming;
spread(hamming, 1);
std::vector<uint> ordered(hamming.begin(), hamming.end());
for (size_t i = 0; i < ordered.size(); i++) {
std::cout << i << ' ' << ordered[i] << '\n';
}
return 0;
}
This code is faster than your linear method even if you end up creating more hamming numbers than you need.
You don't even need a set if you make sure that you don't construct a number twice. Every hamming number can be written as h = 2^n2 + 3^n3 + 5^n5, so if you find a means to iterate through these uniquely, you're done:
#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <set>
#include <vector>
typedef unsigned int uint;
int main()
{
const uint umax = 0xffffffff;
std::vector<uint> hamming;
for (uint k = 1;; k *= 2) {
for (uint l = k;; l *= 3) {
for (uint m = l;; m *= 5) {
hamming.push_back(m);
if (m > umax / 5) break;
}
if (l > umax / 3) break;
}
if (k > umax / 2) break;
}
std::sort(hamming.begin(), hamming.end());
for (size_t i = 0; i < hamming.size(); i++) {
std::cout << i << ' ' << hamming[i] << '\n';
}
return 0;
}
The strange break syntax for the loops is required, because we have to check the size before the overflow. If umax*5 were guananteed not to overflow, these conditions could be written in the condition part of the loop.
The code examples in the Rosetta Code link Koshinae posted use similar strategies, but I'm surprised how lengthy some of them are.
In this link you can find two different solutions for finding the nth hamming number. The second method is the optimized one which can get the result in a few seconds.
/* Function to get the nth ugly number*/
unsigned getNthUglyNo(unsigned n)
{
unsigned ugly[n]; // To store ugly numbers
unsigned i2 = 0, i3 = 0, i5 = 0;
unsigned next_multiple_of_2 = 2;
unsigned next_multiple_of_3 = 3;
unsigned next_multiple_of_5 = 5;
unsigned next_ugly_no = 1;
ugly[0] = 1;
for (int i=1; i<n; i++)
{
next_ugly_no = min(next_multiple_of_2,
min(next_multiple_of_3,
next_multiple_of_5));
ugly[i] = next_ugly_no;
if (next_ugly_no == next_multiple_of_2)
{
i2 = i2+1;
next_multiple_of_2 = ugly[i2]*2;
}
if (next_ugly_no == next_multiple_of_3)
{
i3 = i3+1;
next_multiple_of_3 = ugly[i3]*3;
}
if (next_ugly_no == next_multiple_of_5)
{
i5 = i5+1;
next_multiple_of_5 = ugly[i5]*5;
}
} /*End of for loop (i=1; i<n; i++) */
return next_ugly_no;
}
100 - The 3n + 1 problem
http://www.spoj.com/problems/PROBTRES/
always i get this >>> runtime error (SIGSEGV) <<<
why plz help !
Background:
Problems in Computer Science are often classified as belonging to a certain class of problems (e.g., NP, Unsolvable, Recursive). In this problem you will be analyzing a property of an algorithm whose classification is not known for all possible inputs.
The Problem:
Consider the following algorithm:
1. input n
2. print n
3. if n = 1 then STOP
4. if n is odd then n = 3n + 1
5. else n = n / 2
6. GOTO 2
Given the input 22, the following sequence of numbers will be printed 22 11 34 17 52 26 13 40 20 10 5 16 8 4 2 1
It is conjectured that the algorithm above will terminate (when a 1 is printed) for any integral input value. Despite the simplicity of the algorithm, it is unknown whether this conjecture is true. It has been verified, however, for all integers n such that 0 < n < 1,000,000 (and, in fact, for many more numbers than this.)
Given an input n, it is possible to determine the number of numbers printed (including the 1). For a given n this is called the cycle-length of n. In the example above, the cycle length of 22 is 16.
For any two numbers i and j you are to determine the maximum cycle length over all numbers between i and j.
The Input:
The input will consist of a series of pairs of integers i and j, one pair of integers per line. All integers will be less than 1,000,000 and greater than 0.
You should process all pairs of integers and for each pair determine the maximum cycle length over all integers between and including i and j.
You can assume that no operation overflows a 32-bit integer.
The Output:
For each pair of input integers i and j you should output i, j, and the maximum cycle length for integers between and including i and j. These three numbers should be separated by at least one space with all three numbers on one line and with one line of output for each line of input. The integers i and j must appear in the output in the same order in which they appeared in the input and should be followed by the maximum cycle length (on the same line).
Sample Input:
1 10
100 200
201 210
900 1000
Sample Output:
1 10 20

You might check the actual range of values you're getting for n, as it might be stepping outside your array long a[1000001]. Also, you might check your recursion depth. If you recurse too deeply, you'll overflow the stack.
I would consider adding an assert to test n (ie. assert(n < 1000001)), and perhaps a recursion depth variable to check your recursion depth as the first steps to diagnosing and debugging this code. You can find assert in <cassert>.
The sequence of triangle numbers is
generated by adding the natural
numbers. So the 7th triangle number
would be 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 =
28. The first ten terms would be:
1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45, 55,
...
Let us list the factors of the first
seven triangle numbers:
1: 1
3: 1,3
6: 1,2,3,6
10: 1,2,5,10
15: 1,3,5,15
21: 1,3,7,21
28: 1,2,4,7,14,28
We can see that 28 is the first
triangle number to have over five
divisors.
Given an integer n, display the first
triangle number having at least n
divisors.
Sample Input: 5
Output 28
Input Constraints: 1<=n<=320
I was obviously able to do this question, but I used a naive algorithm:
Get n.
Find triangle numbers and check their number of factors using the mod operator.
But the challenge was to show the output within 4 seconds of input. On high inputs like 190 and above it took almost 15-16 seconds. Then I tried to put the triangle numbers and their number of factors in a 2d array first and then get the input from the user and search the array. But somehow I couldn't do it: I got a lot of processor faults. Please try doing it with this method and paste the code. Or if there are any better ways, please tell me.
Here's a hint:
The number of divisors according to the Divisor function is the product of the power of each prime factor plus 1. For example, let's consider the exponential prime representation of 28:
28 = 22 * 30 * 50 * 71 * 110...
The product of each exponent plus one is: (2+1)*(0+1)*(0+1)*(1+1)*(0+1)... = 6, and sure enough, 28 has 6 divisors.
Now, consider that the nth triangular number can be computed in closed form as n(n+1)/2. We can multiply numbers written in the exponential prime form simply by adding up the exponents at each position. Dividing by two just means decrementing the exponent on the two's place.
Do you see where I'm going with this?
Well, you don't go into a lot of detail about what you did, but I can give you an optimization that can be used, if you didn't think of it...
If you're using the straightforward method of trying to find factors of a number n, by using the mod operator, you don't need to check all the numbers < n. That obviously would take n comparisons...you can just go up to floor(sqrt(n)). For each factor you find, just divide n by that number, and you'll get the conjugate value, and not need to find it manually.
For example: say n is 15.
We loop, and try 1 first. Yep, the mod checks out, so it's a factor. We divide n by the factor to get the conjugate value, so we do (15 / 1) = 15...so 15 is a factor.
We try 2 next. Nope. Then 3. Yep, which also gives us (15 / 3) = 5.
And we're done, because 4 is > floor(sqrt(n)). Quick!
If you didn't think of it, that might be something you could leverage to improve your times...overall you go from O(n) to O(sqrt (n)) which is pretty good (though for numbers this small, constants may still weigh heavily.)
I was in a programming competition way back in school where there was some similar question with a run time limit. the team that "solved" it did as follows:
1) solve it with a brute force slow method.
2) write a program to just print out the answer (you found using the slow method), which will run sub second.
I thought this was bogus, but they won.

First, create table with two columns: Triangle_Number Count_of_Factors.
Second, derive from this a table with the same columns, but consisting only of the 320 rows of the lowest triangle number with a distinct number of factors.
Perform your speedy lookup to the second table.
If you solved the problem, you should be able to access the thread on Project Euler in which people post their (some very efficient) solutions.
If you're going to copy and paste a problem, please cite the source (unless it was your teacher who stole it); and I second Wouter van Niferick's comment.
Well, at least you got a good professor. Performance is important.
Since you have a program that can do the job, you can precalculate all of the answers for 1 .. 320.
Store them in an array, then simply subscript into the array to get the answer. That will be very fast.
Compile with care, winner of worst code of the year :D

Dude here is ur code, go have a look. It calculates the first number that has divisors greater than 500.

for ( i=tri_sqrt; i>=1; i--) {
long long remainder = tri_num % i;
if ( remainder == 0 && tri_num == 1 ) {
divisors++;
}
else if (remainder == 0 && tri_num != 1) {
divisors++;
divisors++;
}
}
if (divisors >100) {
cout <<"No. of divisors: "<<divisors<<endl<<tri_num<<endl;
}
if (divisors > 500)
break;
}
cout<<"Final Result: "<<tri_num<<endl;

Boojum's answer motivated me to write this little program. It seems to work well, although it does use a brute force method of computing primes. It's neat how all the natural numbers can be broken down into prime number components.
