I've come up with a working code for the above problem, for both positive and negative values of x. And the answers for the majority of situations is correct, however the code fails at a corner case and I can't seem to find what the issue is! What condition am I missing:`
int pow(int x, int n, int d) {
int i=0,rem=1;
long long l;
if(x==0)
{
return 0;
}
if(x==1)
{
return 1;
}
if(n==0)
{
return 1;
}
x=x%d;
if(n%2==0||n==0)
{
l = ((pow(x,n/2,d))*(pow((x),n/2,d)))%d;
}
else
{
l = ((x)*(pow(x,(n-1)/2,d))*(pow((x),(n-1)/2,d)))%d;
}
if(x<0 && n%2!=0)
{
return d+l;
}
else
{
return l;
}
}
`
The case at which the code gives wrong ans:
A: 71045970
B : 41535484
C : 64735492
My Output: 12942068
Actual Output:20805472
Here is the simplified version of yours.
int pow(int x, int n, int d) {
long long l;
if(n==0)
{
return 1;
}
if(n%2==0)
{
l = (long long)pow(x,n/2,d);
return (int)((l * l) % (long long)d);
}
else
{
//check negative value of x, and make it positive, so that negative values never come in result
if (x < 0) {
x += d;
}
return (int)(((long long)x * (long long)pow(x,n-1,d)) % (long long)d);
}
}
I think your code is logically correct but there exists a data overflow problem on int data type if the modulo d value is large enough.
eg. (pow(x,n/2,d))*(pow((x),n/2,d)) here two big int value multiplication can result in datatype overflow.
can anyone provide the memoized approach for longest common substring between two strings.I know the bottom solution but I am not able to think in top-down manner.
Expected time complexity-O(n^2)
TOP-DOWN APPROACH
#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <cstring>
using namespace std;
string X, Y; //input strings
int ans, dp[105][105]; // ans : answer
int LCS(int n, int m) //our function return value of (n,m) state
{ // so that we can use the result in (n+1,m+1) state
if(n == 0 || m == 0) return 0; //in case of match in (n+1,m+1) state
if(dp[n][m] != -1) return dp[n][m];
LCS(n-1,m); //to visit all n*m states (try example: X:ASDF
LCS(n,m-1); // we call these states first Y:ASDFF)
if(X[n-1] == Y[m-1])
{
dp[n][m] = LCS(n-1,m-1) + 1;
ans = max(ans, dp[n][m]);
return dp[n][m];
}
return dp[n][m] = 0;
}
int main()
{
int t; cin>>t;
while(t--)
{
int n, m; cin>>n>>m; //length of strings
cin>>X>>Y;
memset(dp, -1, sizeof dp);
ans = 0;
LCS(n, m);
cout<<ans<<'\n';
}
return 0;
}
Memoization with recursion works with top-down approach.
Taking LCS example using DP from Cormen into consideration below is the pseudo code describing how it will work.
MEMOIZED-LCS-LENGTH(X,Y)
m<-length[X]
n<-length[Y]
for(i<-1 to m)
do for(j<-1 to n)
c[i,j]<- -1
for(i<-1 to m)
c[i,0]<-0
for(j<-1 to n)
c[0,j]<-0
return RECURSIVE-LCS-LENGTH(X,Y,1,1)
RECURSIVE-LCS-LENGTH(X,Y,i,j)
if(c[i,j]!=-1)
return c[i,j]
//Above 2 line fetches the result if already present, instead of computing it again.
if(x[i]==y[j])
then c[i,j]<-RECURSIVE-LCS-LENGTH(X,Y,i+1,j+1)+1
else
c1<- RECURSIVE-LCS-LENGTH(X,Y,i+1,j)
c2<-RECURSIVE-LCS-LENGTH(X,Y,i,j+1)
if(c1<c2)
then c[i,j]<-c1
else c[i,j]<-c2
return c[i,j]

//you can avoid this and find max value at end in cache

//at this point cache might have -1 or updated value, if its -1 make it to 0 as this location is visited and no common substring is there from here

An easy solution is described below. Here memo[n][m] does not store the length of
greatest substring but you can store the greatest substring in pointer maxi as follows:

if(n==0||m==0) {
return 0;
}

int j=0;
if(memo[n-1][m-1]!=-1) {
return memo[n-1][m-1];
}
if(X[n-1]==Y[m-1]) {
memo[n-1][m-1] = 1+lcs(X,Y,n-1,m-1,maxi,memo);
if(*maxi<memo[n-1][m-1])
*maxi=memo[n-1][m-1];
}
else {
memo[n-1][m-1]=0;
}
int l = lcs(X,Y,n-1,m,maxi,memo);
int i = lcs(X,Y,n,m-1,maxi,memo);
return memo[n-1][m-1];
}
int main()

}
}

Memoization refers to caching the solutions to subproblems in order to use them later. In the longest common subsequence problem, you try to match substrings of two subsequences to see if they match, maintaining in memory the longest one yet found. Here is the solution in Java you are looking for (memoized version of LCS):
public class LongestCommonSubsequence {
private static HashMap<Container, Integer> cache = new HashMap<>();
private static int count=0, total=0;
public static void main(String sargs[]){
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
String x=scanner.nextLine();
String y=scanner.nextLine();
int max=0;
String longest="";
for(int j=0;j<x.length();j++){
String common=commonSubsequence(j,0, x, y);
if(max<common.length()){
max=common.length();
longest=common;
}
}
for(int j=0;j<y.length();j++){
String common=commonSubsequence(j,0, y, x);
if(max<common.length()){
max=common.length();
longest=common;
}
}
System.out.println(longest);
System.out.println("cache used "+count+" / "+total);
}
public static String commonSubsequence(final int startPositionX, int startPositionY, String x, String y){
StringBuilder commonSubsequence= new StringBuilder();
for(int i=startPositionX;i<x.length();i++){
Integer index=find(x.charAt(i),startPositionY,y);
if(index!=null){
commonSubsequence.append(x.charAt(i));
if(index!=y.length()-1)
startPositionY=index+1;
else
break;
}
}
return commonSubsequence.toString();
}
public static Integer find(char query, int startIndex, String target){
Integer pos=cache.get(new Container(query, startIndex));
total++;
if(pos!=null){
count++;
return pos;
}else{
for(int i=startIndex;i<target.length();i++){
if(target.charAt(i)==query){
cache.put(new Container(query, startIndex), i);
return i;
}
}
return null;
}
}
}
class Container{
private Character toMatch;
private Integer indexToStartMatch;
public Container(char t, int i){
toMatch=t;
indexToStartMatch=i;
}
#Override
public int hashCode() {
final int prime = 31;
int result = 1;
result = prime
* result
+ ((indexToStartMatch == null) ? 0 : indexToStartMatch
.hashCode());
result = prime * result + ((toMatch == null) ? 0 : toMatch.hashCode());
return result;
}

i want to find for calculating X^46, how many multiplication occurs with optimal D&C approach for calculating Power.
I think this is the best optimal code for calculating power with divide & conquer approach.
int power(int x, unsigned int y)
{
int temp;
if( y == 0)
return 1;
temp = power(x, y/2);
if (y%2 == 0)
return temp*temp;
else
return x*temp*temp;
}
in one note wrote for calculating X^46 with optimal Power code in D&C we need 8 multiplication, but in my code there is 10. anyone correct me?
Edit:
the last code is:
int power(int x, unsigned int y)
{
int temp;
if( y == 0)
return 1;
if( y ==1)
return x;
temp = power(x, y/2);
if (y%2 == 0)
return temp*temp;
else
return x*temp*temp;
}
You left out the optimizing base case of
if (y==1)
return x
and instead require extra multiplications from
temp = power(x, 0)
return x * temp * temp
The extra pair of multiplications come from the unnecessary final recursive call.
You have redundant multiplies due to not earlying out when y==1.
When y==1, you execute the last line:
return x*temp*temp;
which simplifies to:
return x*1*1;
Adding a special case for y==1 will get rid of the additional 2 multiplies.
int power(int x, unsigned int y)
{
int temp;
if( y ==1)
return x;
if (y%2 == 0){
temp = power(x, y/2);
return temp*temp;
}
else{
temp = power(x, (y-1)/2);
return x*temp*temp;
}
}
Best way to do it using the divide and conquer strategy. it will take O(log N) time to complete the execution. It will work for negative exponential also.
I'm doing this in C++:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
float power(int a, int b)
{
if (b == 0)
{
return 1;
}
else
{
float temp = power(a, b / 2);
if (b > 0)
{
if (b % 2 == 0)
{
return temp * temp;
}
else
{
return a * temp * temp;
}
}
else
{
return 1/power(a,-b);
}
}
}
int main()
{ int a , b ;
cout<<"Enter a Number:";cin>>a; cout<<"Enter its exponential:";cin>>b;
cout << power(a, b);
}
Output:
Output will be as follow
what is the fastest way to compute the greatest common divisor of n numbers?
Without recursion:
int result = numbers[0];
for(int i = 1; i < numbers.length; i++){
result = gcd(result, numbers[i]);
}
return result;
For very large arrays, it might be faster to use the fork-join pattern, where you split your array and calculate gcds in parallel. Here is some pseudocode:
int calculateGCD(int[] numbers){
if(numbers.length <= 2){
return gcd(numbers);
}
else {
INVOKE-IN-PARALLEL {
left = calculateGCD(extractLeftHalf(numbers));
right = calculateGCD(extractRightHalf(numbers));
}
return gcd(left,right);
}
}
You may want to sort the numbers first and compute the gcd recursively starting from the smallest two numbers.
C++17
I have written this function for calculating gcd of n numbers by using C++'s inbuilt __gcd(int a, int b) function.
int gcd(vector<int> vec, int vsize)
{
int gcd = vec[0];
for (int i = 1; i < vsize; i++)
{
gcd = __gcd(gcd, vec[i]);
}
return gcd;
}
To know more about this function visit this link .
Also refer to Dijkstra's GCD algorithm from the following link. It works without division. So it could be slightly faster (Please correct me if I am wrong.)
You should use Lehmer's GCD algorithm.
How about the following using Euclidean algorithm by subtraction:
function getGCD(arr){
let min = Math.min(...arr);
let max= Math.max(...arr);
if(min==max){
return min;
}else{
for(let i in arr){
if(arr[i]>min){
arr[i]=arr[i]-min;
}
}
return getGCD(arr);
}
}
console.log(getGCD([2,3,4,5,6]))
The above implementation takes O(n^2) time. There are improvements that can be implemented but I didn't get around trying these out for n numbers.
If you have a lot of small numbers, factorization may be actually faster.
//Java
int[] array = {60, 90, 45};
int gcd = 1;
outer: for (int d = 2; true; d += 1 + (d % 2)) {
boolean any = false;
do {
boolean all = true;
any = false;
boolean ready = true;
for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
ready &= (array[i] == 1);
if (array[i] % d == 0) {
any = true;
array[i] /= d;
} else all = false;
}
if (all) gcd *= d;
if (ready) break outer;
} while (any);
}
System.out.println(gcd);
(works for some examples, but not really tested)
Use the Euclidean algorithm :
function gcd(a, b)
while b ≠ 0
t := b;
b := a mod b;
a := t;
return a;
You apply it for the first two numbers, then the result with the third number, etc... :
read(a);
read(b);
result := gcd(a, b);
i := 3;
while(i <= n){
read(a)
result := gcd(result, a);
}
print(result);
Here below is the source code of the C program to find HCF of N numbers using Arrays.
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int n,i,gcd;
printf("Enter how many no.s u want to find gcd : ");
scanf("%d",&n);
int arr[n];
printf("\nEnter your numbers below :- \n ");
for(i=0;i<n;i++)
{
printf("\nEnter your %d number = ",i+1);
scanf("%d",&arr[i]);
}
gcd=arr[0];
int j=1;
while(j<n)
{
if(arr[j]%gcd==0)
{
j++;
}
else
{
gcd=arr[j]%gcd;
i++;
}
}
printf("\nGCD of k no.s = %d ",gcd);
return 0;
}
For more refer to this website for further clarification.......
You can use divide and conquer. To calculate gcdN([]), you divide the list into first half and second half. if it only has one num for each list. you calculate using gcd2(n1, n2).
I just wrote a quick sample code. (assuming all num in the list are positive Ints)
def gcdN(nums):
n = len(nums)
if n == 0: return "ERROR"
if n == 1: return nums[0]
if n >= 2: return gcd2(gcdN(nums[:n//2]), gcdN(nums[n//2:]))
def gcd2(n1, n2):
for num in xrange(min(n1, n2), 0, -1):
if n1 % num == 0 and n2 % num == 0:
return num
Here's a gcd method that uses the property that gcd(a, b, c) = gcd(a, gcd(b, c)).
It uses BigInteger's gcd method since it is already optimized.
public static BigInteger gcd(BigInteger[] parts){
BigInteger gcd = parts[0];
for(int i = 1; i < parts.length; i++)
gcd = parts[i].gcd(gcd);
return gcd;
}

A recursive JavaScript (ES6) one-liner for any number of digits.
const gcd = (a, b, ...c) => b ? gcd(b, a % b, ...c) : c.length ? gcd(a, ...c) : Math.abs(a);

var n = Math.min(...arr);

Here was the answer I was looking for.
The best way to find the gcd of n numbers is indeed using recursion.ie gcd(a,b,c)=gcd(gcd(a,b),c). But I was getting timeouts in certain programs when I did this.
The optimization that was needed here was that the recursion should be solved using fast matrix multiplication algorithm.
