Problem
Consider the sequence D of the last decimal digits of the first N Fibonacci numbers, i.e. D = (F0%10,F1%10,…,FN−1%10).
Now, you should perform the following process:
Let D=(D1,D2,…,Dl)
If l=1, the process ends.
Create a new sequence
E=(D2,D4,…,D2⌊l/2⌋)
In other words, E is the sequence created by removing all odd-indexed elements from D
Change D to E
When this process terminates, the sequence D
contains only one number. You have to find this number.
Input
The first line of the input contains a single integer T
denoting the number of test cases.
The description of T test cases follows.
The first and only line of each test case contains a single integer N
Output
For each test case, print a single line containing one integer ― the last remaining number.
Code
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int test(int *arr, int n);
int main() {
int t;
scanf("%d", &t);
while (t--) {
int n;
scanf("%d", &n);
int *arr;
arr = (int *)malloc((n + 1) * sizeof(int));
arr[1] = 0;
arr[2] = 1;
for (int i = 3; i <= n; i++) {
arr[i] = arr[i - 1] + arr[i - 2];
}
/*
for(int k=1;k<=n;k++){
printf("%d ",arr[k] );
}
printf("\n");
*/
printf("%d\n", (test(arr, n)) % 10);
}
}
int test(int *arr, int n) {
if (n == 1) {
return arr[1];
} else {
for (int i = 1; i <= (n / 2); i++) {
arr[i] = arr[2 * i];
}
return test(arr, n / 2);
}
}

Find the largest integer A, such that 2^A < N.
Find Fibonnaci(2^A - 1) % 10
Adding to Bill Lynch's answer, which is itself based on this other answer by happymath:
You will always end up getting 2n − 1 where n is maximum integer such that 2n < K
I'd like to point out another useful mathematical property.
In number theory, the nth Pisano period, written π(n), is the period with which the sequence of Fibonacci numbers taken modulo n repeats.
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pisano_period)
Here we need to consider the case where n = 10, π(10) = 60 and the last decimal digits correspond to the OEIS sequence A003893:
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 3, 1, 4, 5, 9, 4, 3, 7, 0, 7, 7, 4, 1, 5, 6, 1, 7, 8, 5, 3, 8, 1, 9, 0, 9, 9, 8, 7, 5, 2, 7, 9, 6, 5, 1, 6, 7, 3, 0, 3, 3, 6, 9, 5, 4, 9, 3, 2, 5, 7, 2, 9, 1
So that there's no need to calculate the actual Fibonacci number, nor to generate all the sequence up to N.

Given this array:
int a[] = {5, 8, 5, 6, 9, 5};
Would it be possible to remove all ints which equals 5 and move the rest the front of the array?
So that after the removal the array would look like this:
int a[] = {8, 6, 9, 0, 0, 0}
I don't know if by removing a element it becomes a 0 or a NULL?
Thanks!
You can do it with two iterations over the array, first iteration two to turn the element you want to delete, second iteration to separate zeros from non-zeros.
int a[] = {5, 8, 5, 6, 9, 5};
int n = 6;
for(int i = 0 ; i < n ; i++ ) {
if(a[i] == 5 ) {
a[i] = 0;
}
}
int* zero = a;
int* nonZero = a;
int j = 0;
while(j < n) {
while(*zero != 0) {
zero++;
}
while(*nonZero == 0) {
nonZero++;
j++;
}
if(zero < nonZero) {
*zero = *nonZero;
*nonZero = 0;
}
j++;
}
Your array is statically allocated, so always has the same size and deleted elements have the 0 value (according how you define the deleted values).
This link can help you and explains about how to delete element from array.
It is been awhile that i have programmed in C but it is posibble.
This is just a pseudo code, but you just need to change it to way of C programming.
int a[] = {5, 8, 5, 6, 9, 5};
int b[] = {5, 8, 5, 6, 9, 5}; // copy of array a to hold temp
for(int i = 0; i < Size of array; i++ ){
for(int j = i; j < Size of array; j++ ){
if(b[j] != 5){
a[i] = b[j];
a[j] = b[i];
break;
}
}
}
It will be like (▼: Target to swap, F: Finished, X: Not a targe to swap, N: Not processed):
▼, ▼, N, N, N, N
5, 8, 5, 6, 9, 5
F, ▼, X, ▼, N, N
8, 5, 5, 6, 9, 5
F, F, ▼, X, ▼, N
8, 6, 5, 5, 9, 5
Result:
8, 6, 9, 5, 5, 5
And remove 5s, it is quite different depends what you mean. If you do not change size of array then they can be 0 or undefined(null). So I think it differs by how you program the function that returns array.
your array is not dynamic so you just can't reduce its size after its been allocated.setting the value zero might solve the problem in your case.
This is for Homework
I'm programming a simplified game of scrabble where I have my program randomly generate characters then the user would try and create a word from those generated characters, then get a score afterwards. The issue I'm having is making sure the user is actually using the characters provided. I have no clue on how to approach this problem. I don't need any code but hints would be appreciated or even links for a point to start at. Thanks for any help!
EDIT - About half my program [The part that creates the letter set]
void generate_letter_set(int letter_set[] , int size_let , int num_let)
{
int arr[N];
const char let[] =
{'K','J','X','Q','Z','B','C','M','P','F','H','V','W','Y','G','L','S','U','D','N','R','T','O','A','I','E'};
const int freq[] =
{ 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 6, 6, 6, 8, 9, 9, 12 };
int score[] =
{ 5, 8, 8, 10, 10, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 2, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1};
int index = 0;
for(int i = 0 ; i < 26 ; i++) {
for(int f = 0 ; f < freq[i]; f++) {
arr[index++] = let[i]; //All the 96 letters are stored in let[i]
//printf("%c " , let[i]); // Created the letter bank for all the letters
}
} int letter;
printf("Your letters are: ");
for(int l = 0; l < 7; l++){
letter = rand() % 97;
printf("%c ", arr[letter]);
}
}
There are a lot of different ways to search an array for certain characters. The basis of what you need is a very simple search function.
One simple solution would be to use two nested for loops. Assuming let[] is your 'haystack' to check and word is your user input:
// Check each letter of word[]...
for (int ii = 0; ii <= lengthOfUserInput; ii++)
{
char characterToValidate = word[ii];
// ... for not existing in let[]
for (int jj = 0; jj <= lengthOfStringOfValues; jj++)
{
if (characterToValidate != let[jj])
}
}
I need to make a program that counts the number of 1s in the binary representation of an unsigned number, using a recursive function, so this is my code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int one(unsigned n);
int main()
{
unsigned n;
printf("n= "); scanf("%u", &n);
printf("%d", one(n));
printf("\n");
return 0;
}
int one(unsigned n)
{
if(n==1 || n==0)
return n;
else
return (n&1+one(n>>1));
}
Thing is, my code works for number 7 for example, but if I enter the number 2 it will print that it has 2 ones in it. And for 4 it returns 0, and I think for all exponents of 2 it returns 0 in the end. I can't figure out why.
The main problem is here:
return (n&1+one(n>>1));
The addition operator + operator has higher precedence that the bitwise-AND operator &. So the expression is effectively:
return (n & ( 1 + one(n >> 1)));
You need to add parenthesis around n&1:
return ((n & 1) + one(n >> 1));
EDIT:
As a programming exercise, this works fine. In real life code, a precomputed lookup table is much more efficient.
// Assumes CHAR_BITS == 8
int numbits[256] = { 0, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 2, 3, 1, 2, 2, 3, 2, 3, 3, 4,
...
4, 5, 5, 6, 5, 6, 6, 7, 5, 6, 6, 7, 6, 7, 7, 8 };
int count_bits(unsigned n)
{
int i, count = 0;
for (i=0; i<sizeof(n); i++) {
count += numbits[(uint8_t)(n & 0xFF)];
n >>= 8;
}
}
The & operator has a lesser precedence than the + operator, which causes the calculation in the else branch or one to produce the wrong (logically) result. Just surround it by parenthesis to make sure it's executed first and you should be fine:
return (n & 1) + one(n>>1);
In this line
return (n&1+one(n>>1));
The operator + has a higher precedence than &. But, you have to mask the last bit first, then add it:
return ((n&1) + one(n>>1));
I need help to modify the solution I came up with for a programming challenge. The problem statement says as follows:
Martin the zebra of Madagascar (the movie) wants to fill the hole that's left to cover in the floor of the hut that is building in the edge of the beach. The hole has length L and Martin has many pieces of wood, some with length s and others with length t. As Martin is very distracted he wants to know in how many ways the hole can be filled by putting pieces of wood at will.
Input specification
The only line of input contains three integers L, s and t separated with a space (1 <= L, s, t <= 10^6, s != t).
Output specification
A line with the number of different ways to fill the hole modulo 10^9 + 7 (1000000007).
Sample input
6 2 3
Sample output
2
The solution I submitted, uses this function to count:
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
int ** create(int n, int m) {
int ** a = new int*[
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
a[i] = new int[m];
a[i][0] = 1; // I assumed there is one way to fill a hole of length zero
}
return a;
}
int count(vector<int> stick, int n, int m) { // Counts ways to fill the hole
int ** fill = create(n + 1, m + 1);
for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++)
for (int j = 1; j <= m; j++)
if (j < stick[i - 1])
fill[i][j] = fill[i - 1][j] % 1000000007;
else
fill[i][j] = (fill[i - 1][j] + fill[i][j - stick[i - 1]]) % 1000000007;
return fill[n][m];
}
int main() {
int l, a, b;
cin >> l >> a >> b;
vector<int> stick{a, b};
cout << count(stick, stick.size(), l) << endl;
return 0;
}
The problem is that this only counts the different sets that can fill the hole completely, for example:
Say we have a hole of length L = 6 and sticks of lengths s = 1 and t = 2, my function returns 4. This are the four sets that my function is counting:
{1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1}
{1, 1, 1, 1, 2}
{1, 1, 2, 2}
{2, 2, 2}
But what it's required are all the permutations of this sets, hence this should return 13, that is:
{1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1}
{1, 1, 1, 1, 2}
{1, 1, 1, 2, 1}
{1, 1, 2, 1, 1}
{1, 2, 1, 1, 1}
{2, 1, 1, 1, 1}
{1, 1, 2, 2}
{1, 2, 1, 2}
{2, 1, 1, 2}
{1, 2, 2, 1}
{2, 1, 2, 1}
{2, 2, 1, 1}
{2, 2, 2}
How can I modify my function to count all the permutations? Is there any material that can help me understand how to build a dynamic programming solutions for this kind of problems?
let d[i] - number of ways to fill the hole of length i
then d[i] = d[i-s] + d[i-t]
d[0] = 1
d[i < 0] = 0 obviously
I was asked:
Replace each number in a list by sum of remaining elements, the list is not sorted.
So suppose if we have a list of numbers like {2, 7, 1, 3, 8}, now we are to replace each element with sum of rest of elements. The output should be:
{(7 + 1 + 3 + 8), (2 + 1 + 3 + 8), (2 + 7 + 3 + 8), (2 + 7 + 1 + 8), (2 + 7 + 1 + 3)}
== {19, 14, 20, 18, 13}
I answered an obvious solution:
First evaluate sum of all numbers then subtract each element from sum.
So for above list sum is 2 + 7 + 1 + 3 + 8 = 21, then for output do like:
{sum - 2, sum - 7, sum - 1, sum - 3, sum - 8}
{21 - 2, 21 - 7, 21 - 1, 21 - 3, 21 - 8}
== {19, 14, 20, 18, 13}
It needs only two iterations of list.
Then Interviewer asked me: Now do it without subtraction? and I couldn't answer :(
Is other solution possible? Can some share any other trick? A better trick is possible?
Lets extra memory space can be used (I asked after a few minutes of try, even then I couldn't answer).
One possibility would be to compute prefix and suffix sums of your array and then combine the appropriate entries. This would still be O(n) but needs more memory space so I think your original method is better.
In other words, from {2, 7, 1, 3, 8} compute {2, 2+7, 2+7+1, 2+7+1+3, 2+7+1+3+8} and {2+7+1+3+8, 7+1+3+8, 1+3+8, 3+8, 8} and then add the appropriate entries.
The solution is to sum everything but the element. Then you don't have to subtract after the fact. You just skip adding the element at the current index.
Alternatively, you could get a subset of the list that excludes the element at the current index, then just sum the subset together. Pretty much the same thing as my first suggestion with more implementation detail.
C++ implementation. O(n) and done by keeping sums of all elements before and after a certain index.
#include <iostream>
int main() {
int a[] = {2,7,1,3,8};
int prefix[5]; // Sum of all values before current index
int suffix[5]; // Sum of all values after current index
prefix[0] = 0;
suffix[4] = 0;
for(int i = 1; i < 5; i++) {
prefix[i] = prefix[i-1] + a[i-1];
suffix[4 - i] = suffix[4 - i + 1] + a[4 - i + 1];
}
// Print result
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
std::cout << prefix[i] + suffix[i] << " ";
}
std::cout << std::endl;
}
I can't think anything better than yours.
But how about this :
Create a (n-1)xn matrix:
[ 2, 7, 1, 3, 8 ]
| 7, 1, 3, 8, 2 | rotate by 1
| 1, 3, 8, 2, 7 | by 2
| 3, 8, 2, 7, 1 | by 3
| 8, 2, 7, 1, 3 | by 4
Then Sum up the columns
C++'s std::rotate_copy can be used to create matrix
std::vector<int> v1 {2, 7, 1, 3, 8 };
std::vector<int> v2 (v1.size());
int i,j;
std::vector< std::vector<int> > mat;
for (int i=1; i<v1.size();++i){
std::rotate_copy(v1.begin(),v1.begin()+i,v1.end(),v2.begin());
mat.push_back(v2);
}
for(j=0;j<v1.size();++j)
for(i=0;i<v1.size()-2;++i)
v2[j]+=mat[i][j];
for(i=0;i<v2.size();++i)
std::cout<<v2[i]<<" ";
#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int a[] = {2,7,1,3,8};
int sum[5]={0};
for(int j = 0; j < 5; j++){
for(int i = 1; i < 5; i++) {
sum[j]=sum[j]+a[(j+i+5)%5];
}
printf("%d ", sum[j]); }
}
Instead of subtracting the element you can add the element multiplied by -1. Multiplication and addition are allowed operations, I guess.
