uva 10161 Ant on a Chessboard
Background
One day, an ant called Alice came to an M*M chessboard. She wanted to go around all the grids. So she began to walk along the chessboard according to this way: (you can assume that her speed is one grid per second)
At the first second, Alice was standing at (1,1). Firstly she went up for a grid, then a grid to the right, a grid downward. After that, she went a grid to the right, then two grids upward, and then two grids to the left¡in a word, the path was like a snake.
For example, her first 25 seconds went like this:
( the numbers in the grids stands for the time when she went into the grids)
25 | 24 | 23 | 22 | 21 |
10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 20 |
9 | 8 | 7 | 14 | 19 |
2 | 3 | 6 | 15 | 18 |
1 | 4 | 5 | 16 | 17 |

At the 8th second , she was at (2,3), and at 20th second, she was at (5,4).
Your task is to decide where she was at a given time.
(you can assume that M is large enough)
Input
Input file will contain several lines, and each line contains a number N(1<=N<=2*10^9), which stands for the time. The file will be ended with a line that contains a number 0.
Output
For each input situation you should print a line with two numbers (x, y), the column and the row number, there must be only a space between them.

1 5题目大意:找到数字对应的行和列。
解题思路:找规律,奇数行,起始为行数的平方。偶数列,起始为列数的平方。行和列有与数字匹配的规律。
#include<stdio.h>
int main(){
int N, n, cnt, x, y;
while (scanf("%d", &N) != EOF && N) {//用笨办法做的,模拟全过程
n = 0; //应该先找规律,总结,然后按公式来写代码
cnt = 1;
x = 1;
y = 1;
for (int i = 1; i < N; ) {
y++;
i++;
if (i==N) {
break;
}
x+=cnt;
i+=cnt;
if (i >= N) {
x-=cnt;
i-=cnt;
for (int j = 0; j < cnt; j++){
x++;
i++;
if (i==N) {
break;
}
}
}
if (i==N) {
break;
}
y-=cnt;
i+=cnt;
if (i >= N) {
y+=cnt;
i-=cnt;
for (int j = 0; j < cnt; j++){
y--;
i++;
if (i==N) {
break;
}
}
}
if (i==N) {

}
x++;
i++;
if (i==N) {

}
cnt++;
y+=cnt;
i+=cnt;

for (int j = 0; j < cnt; j++){
