https://leetcode.com/problems/water-and-jug-problem/
You are given two jugs with capacities x and ylitres. There is an infinite amount of water supply available. You need to determine whether it is possible to measure exactly z litres using these two jugs.
If z liters of water is measurable, you must have z liters of water contained within one or both buckets by the end.
Operations allowed:
- Fill any of the jugs completely with water.
- Empty any of the jugs.
- Pour water from one jug into another till the other jug is completely full or the first jug itself is empty.
Example 1: (From the famous "Die Hard"example)
Input: x = 3, y = 5, z = 4 Output: TrueExample 2:
Input: x = 2, y = 6, z = 5 Output: False
由于每次只能舀一整杯的水或者倒一整杯的水(除此之外的操作都是无效的,如果把一杯不满的水倒掉,就相当于抹消了此前搞出这么小半杯水的所有操作,如果把一杯不满的水倒满,则相当于先倒掉再倒满)
所以问题归结于求 mx+ny=z 的可解性
由 裴蜀定理 / Bézout's identity 有z必须是xy的最大公约数的倍数
class Solution {
public:
bool canMeasureWater(int x, int y, int z) {
return (z == 0 || (x+y >= z && z%gcd(x, y)==0));
}
int gcd(int a, int b){
while(b != 0){
int tem = a % b;
a = b;
b = tem;
}
return a;
}
};
