Searching for Nessy
Searching for Nessy |
The Loch Ness Monsterisa mysterious and unidentified animal said to inhabit Loch Ness,
a large deep freshwaterloch near the cityof Inverness in northern Scotland. Nessie is usually categorized as a type oflake monster.

In July 2003, the BBC reported an extensive investigation of Loch Ness by a BBCteam, using 600 separate sonar beams, found no trace of any ¨sea monster¨(i.e., any large animal, known or unknown) in the loch. The BBC team concludedthat Nessie does not exist. Now we want to repeat the experiment.
Given a grid of n rows and m columns representing the loch, 6n, m10000, find the minimum number s of sonar beams you must put in the square such that we can control every position in thegrid, with the following conditions:
- one sonar occupies one position in the grid; the sonar beam controls its own cell and the contiguous cells;
- the border cells do not need to be controlled, because Nessy cannot hide there (she is too big).
For example,
where X represents a sonar, and the shaded cells are controlled bytheir sonar beams; the last figure gives us a solution.
Input
The first line of the input contains an integer, t, indicating the number of test cases. For eachtest case, there is a line with two numbers separated by blanks, 6n, m10000, that is, the size of the grid (n rows and m columns).
Output
For each test case, the output should consist of one line showing the minimumnumber of sonars that verifies the conditions above.
Sample Input
3 6 6 7 7 9 13
Sample Output
4 4 12题目意思就是一个探测器能覆盖探测一个九宫格,问最少几个探测器能把整个范围覆盖,边缘不需要。
很水的一道题。。还故意把例子中第二个例子画的那么复杂。。。其实就是把 长减去2 在除以3 (意思就是这个长度要几个探测器。如果不能整除就+1个) 宽也是。相乘即可。。。
AC代码 :
#include<stdio.h>
int main () {
int T;
int row,colum;
int rrow,rcolum;
scanf("%d",&T);
while (T--) {
scanf("%d%d",&row,&colum);
row = row - 2;
colum = colum - 2;
rrow = row / 3;
if (row % 3 != 0)
rrow += 1;
rcolum = colum / 3;
if (colum % 3 != 0)
rcolum += 1;
printf("%d\n",rrow * rcolum);
}
return 0;
}
