Topic:
You are standing on the OX-axis at point 0 and you want to move to an integer point 𝑥>0.
You can make several jumps. Suppose you’re currently at point 𝑦 (𝑦 may be negative) and jump for the 𝑘-th time. You can:
either jump to the point 𝑦+𝑘
or jump to the point 𝑦−1.
What is the minimum number of jumps you need to reach the point 𝑥?
Input
The first line contains a single integer 𝑡 (1≤𝑡≤1000) — the number of test cases.
The first and only line of each test case contains the single integer 𝑥 (1≤𝑥≤106) — the destination point.
Output
For each test case, print the single integer — the minimum number of jumps to reach 𝑥. It can be proved that we can reach any integer point 𝑥.
Example:
Note:
In the first test case 𝑥=1, so you need only one jump: the 1-st jump from 0 to 0+1=1.
In the second test case 𝑥=2. You need at least three jumps:
the 1-st jump from 0 to 0+1=1;
the 2-nd jump from 1 to 1+2=3;
the 3-rd jump from 3 to 3−1=2;
Two jumps are not enough because these are the only possible variants:
the 1-st jump as −1 and the 2-nd one as −1 — you’ll reach 0−1−1=−2;
the 1-st jump as −1 and the 2-nd one as +2 — you’ll reach 0−1+2=1;
the 1-st jump as +1 and the 2-nd one as −1 — you’ll reach 0+1−1=0;
the 1-st jump as +1 and the 2-nd one as +2 — you’ll reach 0+1+2=3;
In the third test case, you need two jumps: the 1-st one as +1 and the 2-nd one as +2, so 0+1+2=3.
In the fourth test case, you need three jumps: the 1-st one as −1, the 2-nd one as +2 and the 3-rd one as +3, so 0−1+2+3=4.
Mentality:
先假设一直相加:1+2+3+4+5+6+…+k=sum,
这时通过观察可以发现假如第一步我选择退后则总和为
-1+2+3+4…+k=sum-2,假设在第二步倒退,1-1+3+4+…+k=sum-3,依此类推,我们可以得出我们从一一直加直到>=n(题目的输入),如果刚好=n,答案为k,如果sum-1==n,答案为g+1,我们只有在最后一步倒退可得,步数+1,如果sum>n,答案为g,我们将之前某一步设为到退即可。
Code :
#include<stdio.h>
int main() {
int t;
scanf_s("%d", &t);
while (t--) {
int n;
scanf_s("%d", &n);
int sum = 0;
int i;
for (i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
sum += i;
if (sum >= n)
break;
}
if (n == sum) //如果一直前进正好走到
printf("%d\n", i);
else if (sum - 1 == n) //只要最后回退
printf("%d\n", i + 1);
else //在中间第i回退,即可到达k - i - 1处
printf("%d\n", i);
}
return 0;
}
