Ok thank you I will try that and see how to optimize the calculation if N is becoming big. Le mercredi 15 avril 2020 22:37:26 UTC+2, porker2008 a écrit : > > The problem with your code is function *ncr()* > > It can easily go overflow when *n* is too big. > > Here is one fix for *cnr()* and it

The reason to avoid floating point arithmetic is that floating point number has wider range than integer but has lower precision. In any case, if a problem can be solved without using floating points (meaning that all operations are done using integers and they fit the range of long long) you

I have been doing some of the practice problems and have an answer which works. I can't pass that answer and get a pass because I'm not sure what we're supposed to be submitting. Is there an input file we should be parsing and using, or should we just input the data correctly? If that's the

Maybe the cells you choose do not give the appropriate sum. Or, you may be not hoping only among neighbors, as described in the problem. To test if your selected cells give the appropriate sum, you can use the following python3 script: To use it: * In your solution, print the "Case #..." line,

The suggestion is that you avoid using float at all (because floating point arithmetic is hard), and instead use integer arithmetic. In this case, you can do that by not computing the average. On Wed, 15 Apr 2020 at 16:42, Matt Fenlon wrote: > That fixed it! Thank you so much. Out of curiosity,

Hello all, My code for Pascal Walk is throwing me a WA for the test set 2 but I don't know why. I check that there is not twice the same element used and that two elements are 'touching' in the triangle but my test have shown no error on eclispe even if I tested from 1 to 1000. Here is the

Yes, thank you. That condition was initially because I didn't order the activities first. Now I've changed it with that little memory of the last assigned activities and it is NlogN. On Tue, Apr 14, 2020 at 9:28 PM porker2008 wrote: > Oh didn't notice that you override the equal() to for
