HACKRNDM - Hacking the random number generator |
You recently wrote a random number generator code for a web application and now you notice that some cracker has cracked it. It now gives numbers at a difference of some given value k more predominantly. You being a hacker decide to write a code that will take in n numbers as input and a value k and find the total number of pairs of numbers whose absolute difference is equal to k, in order to assist you in your random number generator testing.
NOTE: All values fit in the range of a signed integer, n, k>=1
Input
1st line contains n & k.
2nd line contains n numbers of the set. All the n numbers are assured to be distinct.
(Edited: n <= 10^5)
Output
One integer saying the no of pairs of numbers that have a diff k.
Example
Input: 5 2
1 5 3 4 2 Output: 3

what is the value for "n" ? & what is the type of language ? |

From experimentation, I find that the "second line" of input actually spans n lines; where you would expect ' ', there is instead '\n'. Also, it is safe to assume n > 1 and k > 0. Furthermore, all numbers are non-negative. Last edit: 2011-10-16 21:18:36 |
