# Solution for Bookshelves problem of ZCO 2016

 2 I was solving the Bookshelves problem of ZCO 2016 but got WA in 5 out of 15 test cases. Problem link Problem statement- Uncle Shiva is an avid collector of books. In his study he has two long shelves with N books in each of them. He has invited the artist Lavanya to decorate his study. Lavanya feels that the arrangement of books in the two shelves is not aesthetic. She has come up with a measure for the elegance of the two shelves called Skew. The Skew of the two bookshelves is defined to be the sum of the heights of the tallest books in each of the two shelves. Lavanya recommends rearranging the books between the two shelves so that the Skew is as small as possible. On the other hand, Uncle Shiva prides himself as a balanced personality and always wants the two shelves to have an equal number of books, N in each. Lavanya is an artist, she merely recommends what needs to be done, leaving the actual rearranging to Uncle Shiva. Uncle Shiva on the other hand is lazy and would like to do very little work. As a compromise, Uncle Shiva is willing to exchange books between the two shelves K times and would like to do these exchanges cleverly so as to make the Skew as small as possible (via K swaps). For example, suppose each shelf contained 5 books, where the heights of the books on the first shelf are 3, 5, 2, 7 and 1, and the heights of the books on the second shelf are 14, 2, 3, 10 and 4. The Skew of this arrangement is 7 + 14 = 21. If K = 1, i.e., Uncle Shiva is willing to exchange only one book between the two, he can swap the book with height 2 in shelf 1 with the book with height 14 in shelf 2 and this will increase the Skew to 24! On the other hand if he swaps the book with height 7 in the first shelf with the book with height 3 in the second shelf then the resulting arrangement has a Skew of 5 + 14 = 19. You can verify that if K = 1 then this is the smallest Skew that can be achieved. So for this case the answer is 19. Your task is to write a program that takes as input, N - the number of books in each shelf, K - the number of swaps that Uncle Shiva is willing to do, and the heights of the books on the two shelves, and computes the smallest Skew value that can be achieved through at most K swaps of books between the two shelves. Input format There is only one line, which contains ((2 × N) + 2) space separated integers. The first two integers are N and K. The next N integers, give the heights of the N books in the first book shelf. The last N integers, give the heights of the N books in the second book shelf. Output format A single line with a single integer giving the minimum Skew that can be achieved via at most K swaps between the two bookshelves Test data You may assume that the height of all the books like in the range between 0 and 108, both inclusive and that 1 ≤ N ≤ 105. Note that there may be more than one book with the same height on a bookshelf. Subtask 1 (30 Marks) You may assume that K = 1. Subtask 2 (70 Marks) 0 ≤ K ≤ N. Sample Input 5 1 3 5 2 7 1 14 2 3 10 4 Sample Output 19  Below is my code in JAVA. I am getting WA in task #5,11,12,14,15. Since, I am getting AC in some test cases means I am just missing something in my code. Code submission and result. import java.util.*; class ZCO16001 { public static void main(String args[]) { Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in); int n = sc.nextInt(); int k = sc.nextInt(); int a[]=new int[n]; int b[]=new int[n]; for(int i=0;ib[m-1]) { if(b[m-1]>a[0]) { int temp= a[0]; a[0]=b[m-1]; b[m-1]=temp; Arrays.sort(a); Arrays.sort(b); break; } else { flag=0; break; } } if(a[m-1]b[0]) { int temp= b[0]; b[0]=a[m-1]; a[m-1]=temp; Arrays.sort(a); Arrays.sort(b); break; } else { flag=0; break; } } else { m--; } }while(m!=2); } System.out.println(a[n-1]+b[n-1]); } }  Please help me out. asked 27 Nov '16, 23:34 35●5 accept rate: 0%

 2 Consider the input 3 1 1 2 5 1 3 4 Your code gives output 8, but the answer is 7. The bookshelves are [1 2 5] and [1 3 4], and your code swaps 1 and 4 due to the if(a[m-1]>b[m-1]) block on line 31. However you should instead have swapped 5 and 1. Actually, you cannot know which bookshelf's maximum values you should try to replace by just looking at the maximum value of each bookshelf. So, you should try both possibilities :) My code is here, see if it helps you. answered 28 Nov '16, 03:55 6★meooow ♦ 7.3k●7●20 accept rate: 48%
 4 You need to make 2 duplicate arrays and swap and sort for both and then choose the min of it. Here's my solution - https://www.codechef.com/viewsolution/12114294 answered 28 Nov '16, 01:33 2.6k●1●10●34 accept rate: 7%
 0 I did it by comparisons, no swapping no extra memory answered 28 Nov '16, 17:43 93●5 accept rate: 9%
