Background
Binary trees are a common data structure in computer science. In this problem we will look at an infinite binary tree where the nodes contain a pair of integers. The tree is constructed like this:
- The root contains the pair (1, 1).
- If a node contains (a, b) then its left child contains (a + b, b) and its right child (a, a + b)
Problem
Given the contents (a, b) of some node of the binary tree described above, suppose you are walking from the root of the tree to the given node along the shortest possible path. Can you find out how often you have to go to a left child and how often to a right child?Input
The first line contains the number of scenarios.
Every scenario consists of a single line containing two integers i and j (1 <= i, j <= 2*10 9) that represent
a node (i, j). You can assume that this is a valid node in the binary tree described above.Output
The output for every scenario begins with a line containing "Scenario #i:", where i is the number of the scenario starting at 1. Then print a single line containing two numbers l and r separated by a single space, where l is how often you have to go left and r is how often you have to go right when traversing the tree from the root to the node given in the input. Print an empty line after every scenario.
Sample Input
3 42 1 3 4 17 73
Sample Output
Scenario #1: 41 0 Scenario #2: 2 1 Scenario #3: 4 6
题意:
root为(1,1),节点(a,b)的左孩子为(a+b,b),右孩子为(a,a+b)。
求从root到给定节点(a,b)所走过的左右路径各为多少
思路:
考虑一下(l,r)的来源,因为r!=l,若l>r,那么(l,r)来自于(l-r,r)向左;若r>l, 那么(l,r)来自于(l,r-l)向右。那么可以通过递推的不断相减得到以下的代码:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
int main()
{
int n,flag=1;
scanf("%d",&n);
while(n--)
{
int i,j,right=0,left=0;
scanf("%d%d",&i,&j);
while(i!=1||j!=1)
{
if(i>j)
{
if(j==1)
{
left+=i-1;
i=1; ///变成1 少了这一步会出现死循环
}
else
{
left+=i/j; ///倍数时间优化
i=i%j; ///(l,r)来自于(l-r,r)向左
}
}
else if(i<j)
{
if(i==1)
{
right+=j-1;
j=1;
}
else
{
right+=j/i; ///(l,r)来自于(l,r-l)向右
j=j%i;
}
}
}
printf("Scenario #%d:\n%d %d\n",flag++,left,right);
if(n)printf("\n");
}
return 0;
}
/*如果a>b,我们要一次性退到b>a,可以这样:
left+=a/b; a=a-(a/b)*b;(即a=a%b);*/
不得不感慨,还得多学习啊!~
