AP2 - AP - Complete The Series (Easy) |
Arithmetic and geometric Progressions are 2 of the well known progressions in maths.
Arithmetic progression (AP) is a set in which the difference between 2 numbers in constant. for e.g., 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 ... In this series the difference between 2 numbers is 2.
The task here is very simple indeed.
You will be given the 3rd term, 3rd last term and the sum of the series. You need print length of the series and the series.
Input
First line will contain a number indicating the number of test cases.
Each of the following t lines will have 3 number '3term', '3Lastterm' and 'sum'
3term - is the 3rd term in of the series and
3Lastterm - is the 3rd term in of the series and
sum - is the sum of the series.
Output
For each input of the test case, you need to print 2 lines.
First line should have 1 value - the number of terms in the series.
2nd line of the output should print the series numbers separated by single space.
Example
Input: 1 3 8 55 Output: 10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
NOTE:
- In all the test cases, all the series elements are positive integers.
- The series will have at least 7 elements.
- number of test cases <=100.
- All the numbers will fit in 64 bits (long long in C)

@sumit - Lot of people have got AC with this time limit and they are beating the limit by quiet a margin .... I guess increasing the time limit is not a solution |

Time limit should be increased ,I have got time exceeded 3 times even after removing many compulsory tests |

@ Mitch - Thanks for ur Inputs... I did few Rejudges because there was some problem with the Judging ... I moved to 'Exact Judge' and all sols went WA. then moved to 'Ignore white spaces'. My test cases had around 30 -70 test cases but the sol was checking for only 5 in all , so modified the test cases @ Sachin - Yes it is an easy problem. I am not sure should i move this to Tutorial or not. i have seen easier and simple Formula related problems here. @ Numerix - i changed the time limit after i reduced the number of test cases in each file from 30-70 to 1-5 and i set the values based on how much my solution was taking time .If you still think it strict i can modify that Last edit: 2012-03-14 04:25:32 |

The test cases are weak. As the problem is written, any code should be able to pass this input: 2 144115188075855890 144115188075856304 7349874591868660947 144115188075856304 144115188075855890 7349874591868660947 Also, see numerix's comment regarding time limit. I think you're not supposed to make time limits less than 0.5s, but I've seen at least one older problem get away with it (FLOWGROW), so I'm not completely sure. I counted 4 rejudges in a short time after the problem was published. This seems to me rather extreme.. In the future, please take a little more time to test before publishing. Thanks. |

Should be moved to tutorials.Very easy Prob |

Time limit is too strict for some languages because of interpreter startup time. |
