DIFFICULTY:

SIMPLE

PREREQUISITES:

Greedy

PROBLEM:

Given a body needs H units of continuous sleep. If you sleep x ( < H) units then next time, we need 2*(H-x) units of continuous sleep.
Given a string of length L describing the day where S_i=0 means that unit of time is free and S_i=1 means that unit of time is occupied. Find if you would be able to achieve the sleep requirement.

EXPLANATION

As we know that if we sleep x(<H) units then we need to sleep 2*(H-x) units more next time.

So when we have some x(<H) units of free time available then should us sleep or not?
We should sleep only if, it reduces our remaining sleep units that is we should sleep x units only if 2*(H-x) < H.
=> 2*H - 2*x < H
=> 2*H - H < 2*x
=> H < 2*x
=> x > H/2

So iterate over the given string S, find count of continuous 0s, check if count > H/2, if yes then sleep for this time and update the H as following:
H = 2*(H-count)

If at any point we have H <= 0 then we are able to achieve the requirement otherwise no.

TIME COMPLEXITY:

O(L) per test case

Now, please tell me which test case is failing for my code.

Solution: 48302652 | CodeChef.

Will be really appreciated.
Thanks.

The output of this testcase is “YES”.
But your code output is “NO”.

guys please say where i have mistaken
t=int(input())

for _ in range(t):

h,l=[int(a) for a in input().split()]

re=int(l)

s=input()

z=0

for i in s:

    if i=="0":

        z=z+1

    else:

        if z!=0:

            if (re-z)!=0:

                re=2*(re-z)

            else:

                re=re-z

            z=0

            if re==0:

                break

if z!=0:

    if (re-z)!=0:

        re=2*(re-z)

    else:

        re=re-z

    z=0

if re==0:

    print("YES")

else:

    print("NO")

How will the output be “YES”. He 1st sleeps 1 unit so he has to sleep another 2*(5-1)=8 units but the remaining zeros are 5.

Can anybody please help me find which case is missing. Please! :pray:

didn’t consider the fact that he may have the option of not sleeping during free time. UGHH. But it wasn’t mentioned clearly ;-;

But what happens when he does not sleeps 1 unit and work for 1 unit and sleep afterward?
Think You will get your answer.

You are computing H = 2 ( H - X ) every time x is less than H. That will give you a wrong answer. What you should do is :
if 2(H-X) < H
H = H-X

I think quite differently -

1.push all the length of continuous zeroes in a vector (denotes that how much my user can sleep continuously)
2.Now if there are no zero answers is NO
3. else, let prev = h denotes we need this hrs to sleep, now iterate my vector, if my current value (which is basically the length of continuous zeroes ) is less than prev, then I will change my previous to prev = 2 * (prev-vc[i]); (as question said)

Also, one thing is to check sometimes while doing this (prev = 2 * (prev-vc[i]); ) , my prev is greater than h , so now we will set prev to h because from now we will check from that time frame no need to take previously.

otherwise(if vc[i]>prev) will set flag=1 means we get enough continuous hrs to sleep.

in last what I add is to check max continuous zeroes, we r checking here from starting and doing all the operations above may increase my prev, so I directly check whether the max continuous zeroes are greater than equal to h or not, if yes then I will simply sleep in that time frame only.

    lli n,h;
    cin>>n>>h;
    string s;
    cin>>s;
    lli cnt=0;
    vi vc;
    loop(i,n)
    {
        if(s[i]=='0')
            cnt++;
        else
        {
            if(cnt)
                vc.pb(cnt);
            cnt=0;
        }
    }
    if(cnt)
      vc.pb(cnt);
    if(sz(vc)==0)
    {
        print("NO");
    }
    else
    {
        lli prev = h;
        lli flag=0;
        loop(i,sz(vc))
        {
            if(vc[i]<prev)
            {
                prev = 2*(prev-vc[i]);
                if(prev>h)
                    prev = h;
