PROBLEM:

There exists 3 denominations, Rs 5, Rs 10 and Rs 15. Each ice-cream costs Rs 5. There are N customers. Each customer has a certain denomination with him. He buys an ice-cream from Chef only if Chef can give him change. Chef initially has no money. Can all the customers buy their ice-cream?

EXPLANATION:

Simulate the process!

Keep two counters, cnt_5 and cnt_{10}, both initially 0. When a customer comes, see if you can provide change using the two counters.

The best strategy here is to give a change of Rs 10 whenever possible, and if not possible, then give Rs 5. In some sense, Rs 5 is a more “flexible denomination” than Rs 10 – you can form both Rs 5 and 10 denominations from Rs 5, but you cannot give a change of Rs 5 if you only have Rs 10 denominations. Hence, you want to save them (i:e Rs 5) as much as possible.

If you can’t give the change using Rs 10 and Rs 5 then exit, if you can then continue processing the next customer. Don’t forget to increase the counter for whichever denomination you get after the transaction.

NOTE: We dont need a counter for Rs 15 since we cannot use it as change ever.

            }
            
            if(arr[i]==15)
            {
                if(cnt10>0)

        if(i==n)
        cout<<"YES\n";
        else
        cout<<"NO\n";
    }
}

If you didn’t understood then ask. You are not considering the case when you can give 2 five coins when user gives 15.

Why is my subtask 2 wrong? I have considered the case of two five-rupee coins when buyer givers Rs 15. Please help me out

@sebastian

At least send submission link.

I think you should first take condition of giving single coin of 10 in case of 15.

Okay let me try.

correct answer now! Oh yes! i should save more of 5 as it is flexible. Thank you so much for helping me out!

Can someone help me to find why i am getting wrong answer ?

why we taking rs 10 variable extra if we can pay rs 15 exchange from total or from rs 5??

there are two mistakes:
first, the decrement operator should be like - - instead of -

second, your code does not takes all necessary inputs i.e. breaking loop without taking all inputs
I had the same problem so I made a loop for taking pseudo input

see this : CodeChef: Practical coding for everyone

although your logic is correct

see the second loop

https://www.codechef.com/viewsolution/34086655
my first subtask is giving wrong answer while second runs just fine.
what did i do wrong. please help.
