I need some help regarding algorithm, I have attached a problem in it which says that i have to develop an algorithm for a program which can convert Roman to Decimal.
I don't know how to do it, would prefer a complete algorithm but any help is appreciated.
It is an algorithm not a program!
The idea is to traverse the roman numeral string from end to start. For each character, add the corresponding number to the result. For some special
cases, such as ‘I’, ‘X’, ‘C’, check if the result is greater than the corresponding number. If yes, we need to subtract the number
from the result. If no, we need to add the number to the result.
res = 0
for each character c backwards:
if c =='I'
res += res + (res >= 5 ? -1 : 1)
else if c=='V'
res += res + 5
else if c=='X'
res += 10 * (res >= 50 ? -1 : 1)
else if c=='L'
res += 50;
else if c == 'C'
res += 100 * (res >= 500 ? -1 : 1)
else if c== 'D'
res += 500
else if c=='M'
res += 1000
return res
For example: MMDCCCXCIX
= 0 + MMDCCCXCIX
= 10 + MMDCCCXCI
= 9 + MMDCCCXC (as 10 > 5)
= 109 + MMDCCCX
= 99 + MMDCCC (as 109 > 50)
= 199 + MMDCC
= 299 + MMDC
= 399 + MMD
= 899 + MM
= 1899 + M
= 2899
How do I check how many numbers from 1 to N (N < 100) have number 3 in it without converting it to a string to check it?
You can use th % mod operator to take the digits of the number one by one, and check them with 3.
Like,
int x;
while(num != 0) // num here goes from 1 to 100
{
x = num % 10;
if(x == 3)
{
//eureka
}
num /= 10;
}
EDIT
Lets check the algorithm for 35.
First iteration
//num = 35
x = num % 10; // x = 5 (35 % 10)
if(x == 3) // is x equal to 3 (NO)
{
//eureka
}
num /= 10; // num = 3 (35 / 10)
While loop check
num != 0 // num = 5
Second Iteration
//num = 35
x = num % 10; // x = 3 (5 % 10)
if(x == 3) // is x equal to 3 (YES)
{
//eureka
}
num /= 10; // num = 0 (5 / 10)
While loop check
num != 0 // num = 0
// While loop exits
I think the simplest way is by remainder and checking if number is between 30 and 39
if((x%10)==3||(x<40&&x>=30))
{
//Thats it
}
You can make use of the modulas operator % such that if(n % 3 == 1){success operation}
I came across an interesting problem:
How would you count the number of 1 digits in the representation of 11 to the power of N, 0<N<=1000.
Let d be the number of 1 digits
N=2 11^2 = 121 d=2
N=3 11^3 = 1331 d=2
Worst time complexity expected O(N^2)
The simple approach where you compute the number and count the number of 1 digits my getting the last digit and dividing by 10, does not work very well. 11^1000 is not even representable in any standard data type.
Powers of eleven can be stored as a string and calculated quite quickly that way, without a generalised arbitrary precision math package. All you need is multiply by ten and add.
For example, 111 is 11. To get the next power of 11 (112), you multiply by (10 + 1), which is effectively the number with a zero tacked the end, added to the number: 110 + 11 = 121.
Similarly, 113 can then be calculated as: 1210 + 121 = 1331.
And so on:
11^2 11^3 11^4 11^5 11^6
110 1210 13310 146410 1610510
+11 +121 +1331 +14641 +161051
--- ---- ----- ------ -------
121 1331 14641 161051 1771561
So that's how I'd approach, at least initially.
By way of example, here's a Python function to raise 11 to the n'th power, using the method described (I am aware that Python has support for arbitrary precision, keep in mind I'm just using it as a demonstration on how to do this an an algorithm, which is how the question was tagged):
def elevenToPowerOf(n):
# Anything to the zero is 1.
if n == 0: return "1"
# Otherwise, n <- n * 10 + n, once for each level of power.
num = "11"
while n > 1:
n = n - 1
# Make multiply by eleven easy.
ten = num + "0"
num = "0" + num
# Standard primary school algorithm for adding.
newnum = ""
carry = 0
for dgt in range(len(ten)-1,-1,-1):
res = int(ten[dgt]) + int(num[dgt]) + carry
carry = res // 10
res = res % 10
newnum = str(res) + newnum
if carry == 1:
newnum = "1" + newnum
# Prepare for next multiplication.
num = newnum
# There you go, 11^n as a string.
return num
And, for testing, a little program which works out those values for each power that you provide on the command line:
import sys
for idx in range(1,len(sys.argv)):
try:
power = int(sys.argv[idx])
except (e):
print("Invalid number [%s]" % (sys.argv[idx]))
sys.exit(1)
if power < 0:
print("Negative powers not allowed [%d]" % (power))
sys.exit(1)
number = elevenToPowerOf(power)
count = 0
for ch in number:
if ch == '1':
count += 1
print("11^%d is %s, has %d ones" % (power,number,count))
When you run that with:
time python3 prog.py 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 1000
you can see that it's both accurate (checked with bc) and fast (finished in about half a second):
11^0 is 1, has 1 ones
11^1 is 11, has 2 ones
11^2 is 121, has 2 ones
11^3 is 1331, has 2 ones
11^4 is 14641, has 2 ones
11^5 is 161051, has 3 ones
11^6 is 1771561, has 3 ones
11^7 is 19487171, has 3 ones
11^8 is 214358881, has 2 ones
11^9 is 2357947691, has 1 ones

11^11 is 285311670611, has 4 ones
11^12 is 3138428376721, has 2 ones

That may not necessarily be O(n2) but it should be fast enough for your domain constraints.
Of course, given those constraints, you can make it O(1) by using a method I call pre-generation. Simply write a program to generate an array you can plug into your program which contains a suitable function. The following Python program does exactly that, for the powers of eleven from 1 to 100 inclusive:
def mulBy11(num):
# Same length to ease addition.
ten = num + '0'
num = '0' + num
# Standard primary school algorithm for adding.
result = ''
carry = 0
for idx in range(len(ten)-1, -1, -1):
digit = int(ten[idx]) + int(num[idx]) + carry
carry = digit // 10
digit = digit % 10
result = str(digit) + result
if carry == 1:
result = '1' + result
return result
num = '1'
print('int oneCountInPowerOf11(int n) {')
print(' static int numOnes[] = {-1', end='')
for power in range(1,101):
num = mulBy11(num)
count = sum(1 for ch in num if ch == '1')
print(',%d' % count, end='')
print('};')
print(' if ((n < 0) || (n > sizeof(numOnes) / sizeof(*numOnes)))')
print(' return -1;')
print(' return numOnes[n];')
print('}')
The code output by this script is:
int oneCountInPowerOf11(int n) {
static int numOnes[] = {-1,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,2,1,1,4,2,3,1,4,2,1,4,4,1,5,5,1,5,3,6,6,3,6,3,7,5,7,4,4,2,3,4,4,3,8,4,8,5,5,7,7,7,6,6,9,9,7,12,10,8,6,11,7,6,5,5,7,10,2,8,4,6,8,5,9,13,14,8,10,8,7,11,10,9,8,7,13,8,9,6,8,5,8,7,15,12,9,10,10,12,13,7,11,12};
if ((n < 0) || (n > sizeof(numOnes) / sizeof(*numOnes)))
return -1;
return numOnes[n];
}
which should be blindingly fast when plugged into a C program. On my system, the Python code itself (when you up the range to 1..1000) runs in about 0.6 seconds and the C code, when compiled, finds the number of ones in 111000 in 0.07 seconds.
Here's my concise solution.
def count1s(N):
# When 11^(N-1) = result, 11^(N) = (10+1) * result = 10*result + result
result = 1
for i in range(N):
result += 10*result
# Now count 1's
count = 0
for ch in str(result):
if ch == '1':
count += 1
return count
En c#:
private static void Main(string[] args)
{
var res = Elevento(1000);
var countOf1 = res.Select(x => int.Parse(x.ToString())).Count(s => s == 1);
Console.WriteLine(countOf1);
}
private static string Elevento(int n)
{
if (n == 0) return "1";
//Otherwise, n <- n * 10 + n, once for each level of power.
var num = "11";
while (n > 1)
{
n--;
// Make multiply by eleven easy.
var ten = num + "0";
num = "0" + num;
//Standard primary school algorithm for adding.
var newnum = "";
var carry = 0;
foreach (var dgt in Enumerable.Range(0, ten.Length).Reverse())
{
var res = int.Parse(ten[dgt].ToString()) + int.Parse(num[dgt].ToString()) + carry;
carry = res/10;
res = res%10;
newnum = res + newnum;
}
if (carry == 1)
newnum = "1" + newnum;
// Prepare for next multiplication.
num = newnum;
}
//There you go, 11^n as a string.
return num;
}
I basically have a few variables
0 < na < 250
0 < max <= 16
nb = (na + max - 1) / max
n has the following characterstics
0 <= i < nb - 1 => n = max
i = nb - 1 => n = na - i * max
Is there an easy way to do this without the ternary operator?
for (i = 0; i<nb;i++) {
n = ((i + 1) * max > na ? na - (i * max) : max);
}
Examples
na = 5
max = 2
nb = 3
i = 0 => n = 2
i = 1 => n = 2
i = 2 => n = 1
na = 16
max = 4
nb = 4
i = 0 => n = 4
i = 1 => n = 4
i = 2 => n = 4
i = 3 => n = 4
na = 11
max = 3
nb = 4
i = 0 => n = 3
i = 1 => n = 3
i = 2 => n = 3
i = 3 => n = 2
The question is not very clear. Perhaps you're looking for something like this:
for (i=0;i < nb;++i)
{
n = i < nb - 1 ? max : (na - 1) % max + 1;
}
You don't need to calculate nb. This is one way you could do it (C#):
int na = 11;
int max = 4;
for (int i = 0, x = 0; x < na; i++, x += max)
{
int n = Math.Min(max, na - x);
Console.WriteLine("i = {0}, n = {1}", i, n);
}
Output:
i = 0, n = 4
i = 1, n = 4
i = 2, n = 3
Just to add more confusion to the thread:
If only you print max in the first two cases, then you could do something like: (not in any particular language)
//for 0
printf("i = %d, n = %d\n",i,max)
//for 1
printf("i = %d, n = %d\n",i,max)
//for the rest
for (i = 2; i<nb;i++) {
printf("i = %d, n = %d\n",i,na - (i * max));
}
You can avoid the operator doing two for loops
for (i = 0; (i + 1) * max) > na AND i < nb;i++) {
printf("i = %d, n = %d\n",i,0);
}
for (; i<nb;i++) {
printf("i = %d, n = %d\n",i,na - (i * max));
}
I need to create EAN 8 bar code programmatically.
I search an algorithm to calculate the checksum digit.
The algorithm is covered in this wikipedia article on EAN, note that EAN-8 is calculated in the same way as EAN-13.
Here's a worked example from http://www.barcodeisland.com/ean8.phtml :
Assuming we wish to encode the 7-digit message "5512345", we would calculate the checksum in the following manner:
Barcode 5 5 1 2 3 4 5
Odd/Even Pos? O E O E O E O
Weighting 3 1 3 1 3 1 3
Calculation 5*3 5*1 1*3 2*1 3*3 4*1 5*3
Weighted Sum 15 5 3 2 9 4 15
The total is 15 + 5 + 3 + 2 + 9 + 4 + 15 = 53. 7 must be added to 53 to produce a number evenly divisible by 10, thus the checksum digit is 7 and the completed bar code value is "55123457".
string code="55123457";
int sum1 = code[1] + code[3] + code[5]
int sum2 = 3 * (code[0] + code[2] + code[4] + code[6]);
int checksum_value = sum1 + sum2;
int checksum_digit = 10 - (checksum_value % 10);
if (checksum_digit == 10)
checksum_digit = 0;
int checkSum(const std::vector<int>& code) const
{
if (code.size() < 8) return false;
for( SIZE_T i = 0; i< code.size(); i++ )
{
if( code[i] < 0 ) return false;
}
int sum1 = code[1] + code[3] + code[5]
int sum2 = 3 * (code[0] + code[2] + code[4] + code[6]);
int checksum_value = sum1 + sum2;
int checksum_digit = 10 - (checksum_value % 10);
if (checksum_digit == 10) checksum_digit = 0;
return checksum_digit;
}

Python EAN13 check-digit calculation based on Najoua Mahi's Java function:
def generateEAN13CheckDigit(self, first12digits):
charList = [char for char in first12digits]
ean13 = [1,3]
total = 0
for order, char in enumerate(charList):
total += int(char) * ean13[order % 2]
checkDigit = 10 - total % 10
if (checkDigit == 10):
return 0
return checkDigit
This works on both EAN 13 and EAN8:
public static String generateEAN(String barcode) {
int first = 0;
int second = 0;
if(barcode.length() == 7 || barcode.length() == 12) {
for (int counter = 0; counter < barcode.length() - 1; counter++) {
first = (first + Integer.valueOf(barcode.substring(counter, counter + 1)));
counter++;
second = (second + Integer.valueOf(barcode.substring(counter, counter + 1)));
}
second = second * 3;
int total = second + first;
int roundedNum = Math.round((total + 9) / 10 * 10);
barcode = barcode + String.valueOf(roundedNum - total);
}
return barcode;
}
This is a code I wrote in VFP (Visual FoxPro 9), for both EAN-8 and EAN-13
Lparameters lcBarcode,llShowErrorMessage
If Vartype(m.lcBarcode)<>'C'
If m.llShowErrorMessage
MessageBox([Type of parameter is incorect!],0+16,[Error Message])

Return .f.
EndIf
If Len(Chrtran(Alltrim(m.lcBarcode),[0123456789],[]))>0

MessageBox([Provided barcode contains invalid characters!],0+16,[Error Message])
EndIf
Return .f.
EndIf
If Len(Alltrim(m.lcBarcode))=0
If m.llShowErrorMessage
MessageBox([The length of provided barcode is 0 (zero)!],0+16,[Error Message])
EndIf
Return .f.
EndIf
If !InList(Len(Alltrim(m.lcBarcode)),8,13)
If m.llShowErrorMessage
MessageBox([Provided barcode is not an EAN-8 or EAN-13 barcode!],0+16,[Error Message])
EndIf
Return .f.

Local lnCheck as Integer, lnSum as Integer, lnOriginalCheck as Integer,jj as Integer
jj=0
lnSum=0
m.lnOriginalCheck = Cast(Right(Alltrim(m.lcBarcode),1) as Integer)
m.lcBarcode = Left(Alltrim(m.lcBarcode),Len(Alltrim(m.lcBarcode))-1)
For ii = Len(m.lcBarcode) to 1 step -1
jj=jj+1
lnSum = lnSum + Cast(Substr(m.lcBarcode,ii,1) as Integer) * Iif(Mod(jj,2)=0,1,3)
Next
lnCheck = 10-Mod(lnSum,10)
lnCheck = Iif(lnCheck =10,0,lnCheck)
Return (lnCheck = lnOriginalCheck)
JavaScript version for EAN-8 and EAN-13
function checksum(code) {
const sum = code.split('').reverse().reduce((sum, char, idx) => {
let digit = Number.parseInt(char);
let weight = (idx + 1) % 2 === 0 ? 1 : 3;
let partial = digit * weight;
return sum + partial;
}, 0);
const remainder = sum % 10;
const checksum = remainder ? (10 - remainder) : 0;
return checksum;
}
Mini Javascript Version
function checksum(code){
return (10 - (code.split('').reduce((s, e, i) => { return s + parseInt(e) * ((i%2==0)?1:3) },0) % 10)) % 10;
}
=INT(CONCAT([#Code],MOD(10 - MOD((MID([#Code], 2, 1) + MID([#Code], 4, 1) + MID([#Code], 6, 1)) + (3*(MID([#Code], 1, 1) + MID([#Code], 3, 1) + MID([#Code], 5, 1) + MID([#Code], 7, 1))),10), 10)))
The above formula will calculate the check character without the need to use a macro or change to XLSM.
Note: Only works for EAN-8.
