back to boardA HINT Posted by  Jorjia 18 Jan 2018 15:49 Solution is a sum( [ sqrt(2*i*R - i^2) ], i = 1,2,...,R), where [ x ] - round to up.   But, I always GOT TL on 17 test). Re: A HINT if we notice  f(i)==sqrt(2*i*R-i*i);  and f(i+1)-f(i) always >=sqrt(R)   we can change to count howmany i satisfy c==sqrt(2*i*R-i*i)  then answer+=ways*c   then this problem will be solved in O(sqrt(R))   thank you for your hint Re: A HINT my fault but increment of f(i) seems to be monotonic decreasing and increment <=sqrt(2*r)   so we can binary search and divide them to sqrt(2*r)  segment with same increment and add each segment using sum of arithmetic series Re: A HINT my fault but increment of f(i) seems to be monotonic decreasing and increment <=sqrt(2*r)   so we can binary search and divide them to sqrt(2*r)  segment with same increment and add each segment using sum of arithmetic series  |
