the length of the rope is l units. I can only cut any rope into two halves.
for example if the length of the rope is 8 and we need a length of rope 6 we first cut into two halves and we get 4, 4 now we cut any of the half again and we get 4,2,2 now we can merge 4 and 2 and form a rope of length 6. in this example we need a minimum of 2 cuts to get the length of rope 6 from 8 assume that l is always a power of 2 and we need always a even length of rope from it how to find the number of minimum cuts needed to get the new rope?. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Algorithm Geeks" group.
