PREREQUISITES:

Ad-hoc

PROBLEM:

There are M types of fruits and N baskets of fruits. Each basket contains one type of fruit and has a certain non-negative price. You want to select a fruit such that there exists at least one basket with that fruit and you should buy all baskets with that fruit. Find the minimum possible cost.

QUICK EXPLANATION:

Iterate over each fruit type and check it.

EXPLANATION:

To be able to choose a fruit i, there must be at least one basket containing fruit i. To check if fruit i can be chosen, we can loop through all baskets to find any basket with fruit i:

bool found=false;
for(int j=0; j<n; ++j) {
	if(f[j]==i) {
		found=true;
	}
}
//if found is true then we can choose fruit i

Let’s calculate the cost of choosing fruit i, which will be the sum of the prices of the baskets with fruit i. We can make a few changes to our previous code:

bool found=false;
int sum=0;
for(int j=0; j<n; ++j) {
	if(f[j]==i) {
		found=true;
		sum+=p[j];
	}
}
//if found is true then we can choose fruit i
//sum is the cost of choosing fruit i

Lastly, we should run the code above for each fruit i so that we can find which fruits can be chosen and the costs of those fruits. Our answer is the minimum cost out of all fruits which can be chosen.

int ans=1e9; //some arbitrarily large value
for(int i=1; i<=m; ++i) {
	//try fruit i
	bool found=false;
	int sum=0;
	for(int j=0; j<n; ++j) {
		if(f[j]==i) {
			found=true;
			sum+=p[j];
		}
	}
	//if found is true then we can choose fruit i
	//sum is the cost of choosing fruit i
	if(found) {
		//update the answer with the cost for fruit i
		ans=min(sum, ans);
	}
}
//ans is now the answer

HIDDEN TRAPS:

  • It is insufficient to check if the sum of costs of the baskets for a fruit is positive to determine if a type of fruit has at least one basket. This is because the prices of baskets can be 0.

why this is wrong ? Pls help

what is wrong int this solution
c++:

using namespace std;

int main() {

Thanks a lot!

@everule1 but i have checked even then answer was not accepted

Please use ` `` before and after the code to format it correctly. The code is not comprehensible.

ans is initialised only once, you need to initialise it for each test case. Generally to avoid stuff like this, you should declare all the variables inside the while loop, since you haven’t used them outside the loop. also iterator variables should be in the loop, not declared seperately. It’s not necessary, but is more readable, and simpler to debug. The scope should be the minimum possible. also use ‘\n’ instead of endl, since it’s not interactive and endl is slow.

What’s wrong in my solution…(in c language)

#include <stdio.h>
#include <limits.h>

int main(void) {
// your code goes here
int t;
scanf("%d", &t);
while(t–)
{
int n, m;
scanf("%d %d", &n, &m);
int type[n+1], price[n+1], hash[m+1];
for(int i=1; i<=m; i++)
hash[i]= 0;

    for(int i=1; i<=n; i++)
        scanf("%d ", &type[i]);
    for(int i=1; i<=n; i++)
        scanf("%d ", &price[i]);
   
   for(int i=1; i<= n; i++)
   {
       int temp= type[i];
       hash[temp]+= price[i];
   }
   int min= INT_MAX;
   for(int i=1; i<= m; i++)
   {
       if(hash[i]<min && hash[i]>0)
       min= hash[i];
   }
   printf("%d\n", min);
}
return 0;

}

Can’t find an error in my code. Please Help!!
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
#define IOS ios::sync_with_stdio(0); cin.tie(0); cout.tie(0);
#define int long long
#define rep(i,a,b) for(int i=a;i<b;i++)
int32_t main()
{
IOS;
int t;
cin>>t;
while(t–)
{
int n, m;
cin>>n>>m;
int a[n][2];
int sum[m]={0};
int count[m]={0};
rep(i,0,n) cin>>a[i][0];
rep(i,0,n) cin>>a[i][1];
rep(i,0,n) sum[a[i][0]-1]+=a[i][1];
rep(i,0,n) count[a[i][0]-1]++;
vector<pair<int,int>> vect;
rep(i,0,n) vect.push_back(make_pair(sum[i],count[i]));
sort(vect.begin(),vect.end());
rep(i,0,n)
{
if(vect[i].second!=0)
{
cout<<sum[i]<<endl;
break;
}
}
}
return 0;
}

Price of a fruit can be zero also. So you will have to make an another array which stores the count of fruits. And then iterate over to get the desired ouput.
