COUNTPAS - Counting Pascal |
Pascal’s triangle is a common figure in combinatorics. It is a triangle formed by rows of integers. The top row contains a single 1. Each new row has one element more than the previous one and is formed as follows: the leftmost and rightmost values are 1, while each of the other values is the sum of the two values above it. Here we depict the first 7 rows of the triangle.
1 1 1 1 2 1 1 3 3 1 1 4 6 4 1 1 5 10 10 5 1 1 6 15 20 15 6 1
Pascal’s triangle is infinite, of course, and contains the value 1 an unbounded number of times. However, any other value appears a finite number of times in the triangle. In this problem you are given an integer K ≥ 2. Your task is to calculate the number of values in the triangle that are different from 1 and less than or equal to K.
Input
The input contains several test cases. Each test case is described in a single line that contains an integer K (2 ≤ K ≤ 109). The last line of the input contains a single −1 and should not be processed as a test case.
Output
For each test case output a single line with an integer indicating the number of values in Pascal’s triangle that are different from 1 and less than or equal to K.
Example
Input: 2 6 -1 Output: 1 10

Getting WA.. Harder test cases anyone?? for n = 10^9, my ans = 2000094655 Last edit: 2012-08-15 06:43:46 |
