Problem Description
Panda and his friends were hiking in the forest. They came across a coffee bar inside a giant tree trunk.
Panda decided to treat everyone a cup of coffee and have some rest. Mr. Buck, the bartender greeted Panda and his animal friends with his antler. He proudly told them that his coffee is the best in the forest and this bar is a Michelin-starred bar, thats why the bar is called Starred Bucks.
There was a campaign running at the coffee bar: for every 3 cups of coffee, the cheapest one is FREE. After asking all his friends for their flavors, Panda wondered how much he need to pay.

Input
The first line of the input gives the number of test cases, T.
T test cases follow. Each test case consists of two lines. The first line contains one integer N, the number of cups to be bought.
The second line contains N integers p1,p2,⋅⋅⋅,pN representing the prices of each cup of coffee.

The second line contains N integers p1,p2,⋅⋅⋅,pN representing the prices of each cup of coffee.
Output
For each test case, output one line containing “Case #x: y”, where x is the test case number (starting from 1) and y is the least amount of money Panda need to pay.

【题目大意】
三杯里价钱最低的一杯免费,问最少花多少钱。
【解题思路】
贪心。尽量每次便宜的杯价钱都高一些,所以从大到小排序后非3的倍数杯免费即可。
【解题代码】
#include <cstdio>
#include <cstring>
#include <algorithm>
#include <stack>
#include <queue>
#include <set>
using namespace std;
const int maxn=1e5+10;
int cup[maxn];
bool cmp(int a,int b)
{
return a>b;
}
int main()
{
int t;
int kase=0;
scanf("%d",&t);
while(t--)
{
int n;
scanf("%d",&n);
for( int i=0;i<n;i++)
scanf("%d",&cup[i]);
sort(cup,cup+n,cmp);
int sum=0;
for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
{
if((i+1)%3)
sum+=cup[i];
}
printf("Case #%d: %d\n",++kase,sum);
}
return 0;
}
【收获与反思】
贪心策略,让每次免费的杯价钱尽量高些。入门题
