how can i reduce its running time, here’s the code CodeChef: Practical coding for everyone ???
for the question ARRANGE Problem - CodeChef.
@aasthi >> Well, it was said that
The straightforward approach of writing a function that simply reverses the bits of an index to get the new index suffices (recalling that indices with fewer bits than k are padded with leading zeros). The complexity of this algorithm is O(n log n) where n = 2^k is the length of the string. While this was fast enough for the contest, an O(n) algorithm can be devised using a slighly more clever approach.
But still your solution is failing maybe due to slowness of Java or some other reason. You should have a look at how to make this algorithm run in O(n). Here is the editorial for the same.
