Re: [algogeeks] Finding all prime less than 10^8

2010-04-12 Thread BlackdiamonD
thank kartik thanks but it was with lot of optimized code i was unable to
understand though i have changed my code more know it is taking around 8 to
8.5 seconds in my computer but still i am getting TLE on server

#includestdio.h
#define  ten8 (1)
const int mod=32;
unsigned int M[ten8/mod];
int main()
{
 int half=1, i,j,x=1;
 int y=ten8/mod;
   freopen(output.txt,wt,stdout);
for (  i = 0;i  y;i++)
M[i] = 0;
printf(2\n);
for ( i = 3;i  ten8;i+=2)
{
 int a=i/mod,b=i%mod;
if (((M[a]b)1)==0)
{
x++;
if(x%100==1)
printf(%d\n,i);
if(ihalf)
continue;
for (int j = i * i;j  ten8;j += i)
{
M[j/mod] =M[j/mod]|(1(j%mod));
}

@rohit It's ok.Actually in this group people come up with very different and

Rotation algo has a complexity of O(nlogn)[for constructing a BST] +O(n)
[for rotating n times]=O(nlogn) .

Till now best algo we have is using heaps which give rise to complexity =
O(n+klogn)

 @Dave n Harshi, thanks for your answer.

 I am still not clear very much . May be u can help in elucidating your
 replies.

 If such a tree is degenerate, then the complexity of search is O(n), but if
 it is a well-balanced tree, where some nodes may have 'k' children and some
 nodes may have 'm' children , (where 'k' and 'm' are more than 2 and may not
 be necessarily equal) , then what would be the comlexity of searching?

 Would it of the order of log_2(n) or some other order like log_k(n) ? Or,
 Is it that the base of the logarithm is not at all important here?

 I hope I have made my doubt clear.

 Your statement about the complexity of searching a binary search tree
 applies only if the tree is balanced. In a degenerate tree, e.g.,
 where each node has only one son, so that the tree is essentialy a
 linked list, the complexity of searching is O(n).

  Hi,
 
  The book on data structures by Langsam and Tanenbaum gives an alternate
  representation of trees as :
 
  struct treenode {
int data;
struct treenode * son;
struct treenode * sibling;
 
  };
 
  Such type of nodes can be used to make trees in which each node can have
 any
  number of siblings.
 
  I am unable to understand the algorithmic complexity of searching for a
 node
  in such a tree?
 
  While a simple binary search tree gives search complexity as log_2(n),
 where
  'n' are the number of nodes in the tree, does such a tree also gives
  logarithmic complexity? In case it gives a logarithmic complexity, what
  would be the base of logarithm in this case. Would it be 2 or some
 number
  'k' where 'k' might be dependent on certain factors?
 
  Also, what might be the exact searching algo in this kind of a tree?
 Some
  pseudo code would be really appreciated.
 
  Thanks for your help in understanding this problem.
 
  With Regards,
  Himanshu

Re: [algogeeks] First k smallest elements

2010-04-12 Thread souri datta
Steps:
1. Find the kth element using order statistics - O(n)
2. In one pass over the array, get all the elems less than the kth element.

Let me know if this is not correct.

 @rohit It's ok.Actually in this group people come up with very different

 Rotation algo has a complexity of O(nlogn)[for constructing a BST] +O(n)
 [for rotating n times]=O(nlogn) .

 Till now best algo we have is using heaps which give rise to complexity =
 O(n+klogn)

 popped

 Furthermore,

 Interesting, but tricky... You need two stacks as Prakhar
 stated...
 In general, if you have Stack A and Stack B, you should keep
 all the
   items
 in stack A and then use stack B for processing.
 
 For example to insert an item:
 1. Pop all the items from A  and then push them into B (this
 should
   push
 the items into Stack B in reverse order)
 2. Insert the new item into A
 3. Pop all the items in B and push them back into A (again this
 will
   push
 them back into Stack B in reverse order)
 
 Running time should be O(1)+O(2n), which is O(n) for larger
 values
   of n -
 which is not good...
 
 To retrieve an item, pop the first item in stack A
 
 Hope  this helps -

Re: [algogeeks] store fractional numbers with high precision

2010-04-12 Thread Anil C R
correct me if I'm wrong but, float has a precision of around 8 digits. and
double 16 digits... if you want arbitrary precision floating point numbers,
try GNU BigNum library...

 how to store fractional numbers with a fractional part having 25-30
 digits after decimal place,
 does long double has the same precision as double?.
 1 more prob.
 format specifier for long double is %lf and same for double, so if i
 write
   long double a;
   scanf(%lf,a);
   a=a*2;
   printf(%lf,a);
 why is the output -2.  ?

 Float has single precision.
 double has double precision.
 Long double has extended precision.

 For your requirement, even a float would suffice. check out the value of
 FLT_MAX . It is of the order of 10^37.
