HACKRNDM - Hacking the random number generator
You recently wrote a random number generator code for a web application and now you notice that some cracker has cracked it. It now gives numbers at a difference of some given value k more predominantly. You being a hacker decide to write a code that will take in n numbers as input and a value k and find the total number of pairs of numbers whose absolute difference is equal to k, in order to assist you in your random number generator testing.
NOTE: All values fit in the range of a signed integer, n, k>=1
Input
1st line contains n & k.
2nd line contains n numbers of the set. All the n numbers are assured to be distinct.
(Edited: n <= 10^5)
Output
One integer saying the no of pairs of numbers that have a diff k.
Example
Input: 5 2
1 5 3 4 2 Output: 3

it is 2 pointer for O(n) why would one use binary search O(nlogn) Last edit: 2020-07-08 00:50:47 |

AC in one go !! binary search is faster than hashmap :)) |

Input described in Problem is wrong. Input takes values in "n" separate lines.

I used Scanner and Arrays.binarySearch() to solve this in Java, AC in 1.22 sec... I thought the limit was 1 sec?

Try to implement by BINARY SEARCH |

wtf is with this question... cin, cout , sorted vectors result TLE; scanf, printf sorte array gives AC...!!! |
