Description
Current work in cryptography involves (among other things) large prime numbers and computing powers of numbers among these primes. Work in this area has resulted in the practical use of results from number theory and other branches of mathematics once considered to be only of theoretical interest.
This problem involves the efficient computation of integer roots of numbers.
Given an integer n>=1 and an integer p>= 1 you have to write a program that determines the n th positive root of p. In this problem, given such integers n and p, p will always be of the form k to the nth. power, for an integer k (this integer is what your program must find).
Input
The input consists of a sequence of integer pairs n and p with each integer on a line by itself. For all such pairs 1<=n<= 200, 1<=p<10101 and there exists an integer k, 1<=k<=109 such that kn = p.
Output
For each integer pair n and p the value k should be printed, i.e., the number k such that k n =p.
Sample Input
2 16
3 27
7 4357186184021382204544
Sample Output
4

1234
思路:首先,题目中的数据强度并不弱,这一点确实如题目中所说:“For all such pairs 1<=n<= 200, 1<=p<10101,所以,double型是不能精确地表示出所给数据,但是却能表示出一个近似值。
当向double型变量中存入
4357186184021382204544
然后再输出,得到的是
4357186184021382000000
后六位的值变为了0,这一点和int型变量是有很大区别的。也就是说当存入double型变量的值超出了它的精度表示范围时,将低位的数据截断。(关于浮点数在计算机中的表示方法,百度吧…讲的蛮清楚的。)
在本题中,如果测试数据为:
7 4357186184021382204544
实际上所处理数据是:
7 4357186184021382000000
拿4357186184021382000000开7次方的结果自然就是1234。
为什么不是1233或者1235呢?
12337=4332529576639313702577
12347=4357186184021382204544
12357=4381962969567270546875
可以看出在double型所能表示的精度范围内,它们三个值已经不同了。
所以,此题中的测试数据也都是类似于上述情况,所以才能使用double型开n次方的方法。
#include <iostream>
#include <math.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
double dNum, dPow;
while(cin >> dPow >> dNum){
cout << (int)(pow(dNum, 1.0 / dPow) + 0.5) << endl;
}
return 0;
}
