The task is really simple: given N exits on a highway which forms a simple cycle, you are supposed to tell the shortest distance between any pair of exits.
Input Specification:
Each input file contains one test case. For each case, the first line contains an integer N (in [3,10 5 ]), followed by N integer distances D 1 D ⋯ D N , where D i is the distance between the i-th and the (i+1)-st exits, and D N is between the N-th and the 1st exits. All the numbers in a line are separated by a space. The second line gives a positive integer M (≤10
4 ), with M lines follow, each contains a pair of exit numbers, provided that the exits are numbered from 1 to N. It is guaranteed that the total round trip distance is no more than 10 7Output Specification:
For each test case, print your results in M lines, each contains the shortest distance between the corresponding given pair of exits.
Sample Input:
5 1 2 4 14 9
3
1 3
2 5
4 1
结尾无空行
Sample Output:
3
10
7
结尾无空行
本题,典型的前缀和问题,当给出起点和终点让求路径的问题,别想,绝对是前缀和。
定义一个数组 a 存放路径,b 存放前缀和,total 是总路径(因为是个环,如果正向的路径与总路径 - 正向的路径相比,要大,说明要逆着走),然后就没啥了,前缀和是 b[i] = a[i] + b[i - 1]
然后就是注意最后是 b[y - 1] 数组,因为题目是 i -> i + 1 的距离是 a[i] 这个可以通过结果再调试
