SQRMINSUM - Minimum Sum |
Suppose you have a list of integers, and a move is defined as taking one of the integers from the list and replacing it with its square root, rounded down to the nearest integer.
Given an integer l and an integer k, start with the array [1, 2, 3 ... l] and find the minimal sum of the array after k moves.
Example
For l = 5 and k = 2, the output should be squareRoots(l, k) = 10.
We start with [1, 2, 3, 4, 5].
After square rooting 5 to get [1, 2, 3, 4, 2] and then square rooting 3 to get[1, 2, 1, 4, 2], we end up with a sum of 10.
Constraints
1 ≤ l ≤ 104
1 ≤ k ≤ 104
T = 10000
Input
The first line contains T the number of test cases followed by 2×T lines containing l and k.
Output
For every test case, output one line containing an integer, i.e. the minimal possible sum.
Sample
Input: 2 5 2 2327 4895 Output: 10 10647

rounded down to the nearest integer means that the square root for 7 is 2, not 3. (floor not round) costed me a lot of WA |

Good question . Hint - No need of priority queue . just start thinking |

O((k+l)*log(l)) with C++ STL's priority queue is sufficient, just be careful not to use computation heavy floating point calculating like sqrt() etc. |

Good time limit so you get to see what you're doing right. Turns out you can even pass with pure Python! Coding style makes all the difference. Great problem. |

can anyone help me what to use instead of priority queue to avoid TLE |

It does indeed give the feel of a @vectar31 type problem ;) BTW, no queue nothing needed! Last edit: 2016-07-12 08:49:43 |

@vectar31 Bro you're an inspiration to me. Can you please give me Your History of submission" (Plaintext Version)"..So that i Could follow it!!! Re: I am just average :) ! Ask Francky, numerix, min_25, Tjandra, Mitch :) ! Last edit: 2016-06-30 17:41:29 |

why priority queue in pypy gives TLE? Edit: Thanks Did it in too slow pypy..hehe Re: Because there are better ways to solve this problem. PyPy is too slow to beat the TL, faster languages might just manage to do that, but that is not what this problem expects you to do. Last edit: 2016-06-30 10:37:30 |

fast i/o+priority queue...just managed to beat the time limit :) |
