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

U have given time limit 5second then how a soln of O(klog(l)) give tle..? even if constraints of k and l are not so large.. Re: Look at the number of test cases, It is 10^4. 10^4*(your calculations with each test case) will time out! Last edit: 2016-06-17 06:21:44 |

@Bhuvanesh, i have updated that number of test cases=10000, and k<=10000, and l<=10000. Given your complexity, your number of calculations will be in the order of 10^9 which will time out. You need to do better with the complexity. Also, think about doing some pre computation. |

Awesome sum! , AC in one go! Last edit: 2016-06-14 14:30:20 |

@Piyush, what is the expected time complexity? Mine is O(k log(l)), which is giving TLE, with and without fast I/O. Edit: Thanks for the update, Solved it, trying for reducing the time and reaching the expected solution. Nice problem :) Re: Glad you liked it :) Last edit: 2016-06-16 12:42:24 |
