@Dave,Balaji,Samby.. Without the matrix exponentiation, the time is not possible, and without using the intermediate modulo operater as suggested by Dave, the value cannot be accommodated, as the 300th fibinocci number alone comes to --

It's done. Today I tried it. Simply for N=0 and N=1 answer is (0,0) = 0 and (1,1)=2 respectively. For other cases, you can get the solution with fib(N+3). Starting fib(1) = 1, fib(2) = 1... Matrix Exponentiation, and Modulus for given constraints are necessary to pass the solution. On Mon,

@aakash the cases are clear but can you explain how you did the matrix exponentiation part ??..explain plz...i'm not getting it... On Tue, May 24, 2011 at 1:25 AM, Aakash Johari aakashj@gmail.comwrote: It's done. Today I tried it. Simply for N=0 and N=1 answer is (0,0) = 0 and (1,1)=2

@Akshata: Actually, you only need to find the n+3rd Fibonacci number, modulus 17. This saves you from having to deal with big integers. Something like this should do for the calculation, assuming that long long int is 64 bits: long long int n; int a = 1, b = 2, c; for(i = 0; i n, i++) {

Replying to my own posting! Even better, since it replaces the relatively slow modulus operation with a comparison and subtraction: long long int n; int a = 1, b = 2, c; for(i = 0; i n, i++) { c = a + b; a = b; b = c 17 ? c : c - 17; } // b is the result Dave On
