the 1.5 might just be to speed up the process to get the value. even if 1.6 was used or 1.55 was used for that matter, you might still get the right answer but with varying speeds. thats just my guess. haven't tried it. On Sat, Apr 27, 2013 at 6:04 PM, newbie007 wrote: > Hi, > > I understand th

Hi, I understand that they're using binary search, but I don't know how can it get to the solution. Could someone be very nice and explain the code below, please? This is from coder "wata": void solve() { long left = 0, right = 1L << 40; while (right - left > 1) {

The problem with this is that pow(foo, 0.5) performs a floating point calculation which is not accurate to the 18 significant figures required for this result. On Sat, Apr 27, 2013 at 6:55 AM, wonjun wrote: > I used the following logic for the problem - > > Let k be the required answer. Then, >

They have used a binary search , since the function relating radius , number of circles and the amount of paint was strictly non decreasing. On Sat, Apr 27, 2013 at 2:12 PM, Vaibhav Tulsyan wrote: > I was seeing the solutions of the top 10 contestants for the large input > of Bull's Eye. They al

I used the following logic for the problem - Let k be the required answer. Then, (R+1)^2 - R^2 = 2R + 1 amount of paint to paint the first circle (R+3)^2 - (R+2)^2 = 2R + 5 amount of paint to paint the second circle. ... and so on - we get total k equations. Now, adding the k equations, and putt

My code for Small input was right but for large input cases,it stops working.Coding Language is java. Another Problem is,for first 2000 inputs of a large input file (in separate file),it works fine but if all 6000 inputs are given in a file,it calculate only up to 1694th input and stops at 1695
