back to boardExplanation Posted by naik 11 Oct 2014 23:40 This problem solved with the left edge. We look for position of "2". We have three cases: 1) 12***** - "2" in the second position 2) 1*2**** - "2" in the third position 1**2*** - "2" in the fourth position is impossible 1***2** - "2" in the fifth position is impossible 3) 1******2 - "2" in the last position is possible (the one special case). For example: 1357642 For each case find sub-task: 1) a[i-1] 2) is NOT a[i-2] For 1*2**** there can only be one 132****, more accurate 1324***. Therefore is a[i-3]. 3) is 1 Recurrent expression: a[i] = a[i-1] + a[i-3] + 1. And a precalculation: a[1] = 1 a[2] = 1 a[3] = 2 A some answers to compare: a[4] = 4 a[5] = 6 a[6] = 9 a[7] = 14 |
