PROBLEM:

Given temperatures and prices of N coke cans. You want to drink the cheapest coke which quenches your thirst. You know a coke shall quench your thirst if it’s temperature if within the range [L, R]. All these cokes lie at distance M and the normal temperature is K. For every second, if the current temperature of coke is x, it changes as follows.

  • If x > K, x reduces by 1.
  • If x < K, x increases by 1.
  • If x == K, x remains same.

EXPLANATION

It can be seen that we can consider each coke separately. For each coke, we need to determine whether after M seconds, whether it’s temperature is within the acceptable range, and for all cokes, we can take the one with minimum cost. If no coke satisfies, the answer is -1.

Now, what shall be the temperature of coke after M seconds. If Initial temperature is more than K, then every second, the temperature reduces, until it reaches K. Once it reaches K, it remains K. So, the final temperature can be written as max(K, C_i-M)

In other case, temperature increases every second till it reaches K. So, the final temperature can be written as min(K, C_i+M) (as we want to stop as soon as it reaches temperature K).

Hence, we can check for each code whether it is within the range [L, R] and take minimum cost.

TIME COMPLEXITY

Time complexity is O(N) per test case.

Feel free to Share your approach, if you want to. (even if its same :stuck_out_tongue: ) . Suggestions are welcomed as always had been. :slight_smile:

Can anyone help me out.
In the question it has clearly stated that when the temp>k+1, then it will decrease by one and when temp<k-1
then it will increase by one, then why are we checking temp>k instead of temp>k+1

Because it’s the same thing. Checking for t > k will include t > k + 1 which will be better as both of them will become either k (if m allows for values t > k + 1)

I have a problem.
My solution: CodeChef: Practical coding for everyone
I sorted the pair of price and temperatures according to their non-decreasing prices, and checked the temperature range for every element. Where did I go wrong?

Your code is reduntant try this approach

Simple understandable solution

Of course my code is redundant lol. O(nlogn) complexity unnecessarily. I wish to know why this is wrong instead of time consuming.

can anyone figure out why TLE even though complexity is O(n*t)

Here’s my approach.

// now just dry run with temp as 5 and ambtemp as 4

if(temp>ambtemp){
ans=Math.max(ambtemp,temp-minut);
}
else if(temp<ambtemp){
ans=Math.min(ambtemp,temp+minut);
}
else {
ans=ambtemp;
}

simple problem for a cookoff competation

since in the problem statement, if t>k+1 then we have to decrement t by 1 and if t<k-1 then we have to increment t by 1, then why in the solution, we are just comparing t and k instead of k+1 or k-1. Can anyone tell me something about this (the reason about which I am not able to think…) ?
