题目描述
There is a kangaroo at coordinate 0 on an infinite number line that runs from left to right, at time 0. During the period between time i−1 and time i, the kangaroo can either stay at his position, or perform a jump of length exactly i to the left or to the right. That is, if his coordinate at time i−1 is x, he can be at coordinate x−i, x or x+i at time i. The kangaroo’s nest is at coordinate X, and he wants to travel to coordinate X as fast as possible. Find the earliest possible time to reach coordinate X.
Constraints
X is an integer.
1≤X≤109
输入
The input is given from Standard Input in the following format:
X
输出
Print the earliest possible time for the kangaroo to reach coordinate X.
样例输入 Copy
6
样例输出 Copy
3
提示
The kangaroo can reach his nest at time 3 by jumping to the right three times, which is the earliest possible time.
题意: 从原点出发,在时间i可以走i的路程,可以向左向右或不动。问到达x的最短时间。
思路:
(1)贪心:一直往右走是时间最短的。会有两种情况:在i时恰好到达x,或在i时超过x;对于前者一定是最短时间,对于后者我们可以在时间i之前选择往左走,从而使i时恰好到达x;这也就引出了方法二
(2)前缀和+二分:基于(1)的分析我们可以维护一个前缀和数组。找数组中第一个>=x的位置即可。
代码:
(1)贪心(模拟)
#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
int x,start;
void solve(){
cin>>x;
for(int i=1;i<=x;i++){
start+=i;
if(start>=x){
cout<<i<<endl;
break;
}
}
}
int main(){
solve();
return 0;
}
(2)前缀和+二分(手写二分)
#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
const int maxn=50000;
int a[maxn],x;
void solve(){
for(int i=1;i<maxn;i++) a[i]=a[i-1]+i;
cin>>x;
int l=0,r=maxn-1,res=0;
while(l<=r){
int mid=l+(r-l)/2;
if(a[mid]>=x) r=mid-1;
else if(a[mid]<x)l=mid+1;
}
cout<<l<<endl;
}
int cutele(){
solve();
return 0;
}
(3)STL 二分
#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
const int maxn=50000;
int a[maxn],x;
void solve(){
for(int i=1;i<maxn;i++) a[i]=a[i-1]+i;
cin>>x;
int ans=lower_bound(a,a+maxn,x)-a;
cout<<ans<<endl;
}
int cutele(){
solve();
return 0;
}
知识补充:
1.如果用mid=(left+right)/2,如果right是int上限一半还多,那么可能导致溢出,使用mid=left+(right-left)/2可以代替以避免溢出
2.lower_bound(first,last,val)函数在[first,last)进行二分查找返回大于或等于val的第一个元素的位置,如果是数组,返回该位置指针,若没有则返回last的位置。upper_bound()与lower_bound()相似,查找的是第一个大于val的元素的位置。举个栗子0v0:数组a={1,2,4,4,4,5,7,9,9,10,13,17},想查找4第一次出现位置,lower_bound(a,a+n,4)-a,返回值是2.
