Test for this : 100 2 3 100
Output should be 100 1 1 100 = 99+99 = 198

ssjgz · August 28, 2019, 4:33pm

sayan_000 · August 28, 2019, 4:33pm

Did you see the Accepted solution by gaddevarunteja ?

anon55659401 · August 28, 2019, 4:39pm

I did the same problem on Hackerrank, (Sherlock and Cost) months ago… everybody must have seen it 1 time on Hackerrank for sure.

anon55659401 · August 28, 2019, 4:41pm

If you copy-paste the exact same solution, you’ll get WA…as constraints of both problems are different. You have to make some changes I believe…

I did not understand the editorial can anyone explain the approach with reference to this problem ??

ssjgz · August 29, 2019, 6:57am

My solution is more fleshed-out than the Editorial, but more focussed on proof-of-correctness - hopefully it’s more comprehensible
