VECTAR10 - Card Game |
Changu and Mangu have an ordered deck of n cards numbered 1 to n with card 1 at the top and card n at the bottom. They want to play a game. They perform a wierd operation as long as there are at least two cards in the deck: Changu throws away the top card and then Mangu moves the card that is now on the top of the deck to the bottom of the deck. Your task is to find the last remaining card.
Input
Each line of input (except the last) contains a positive number n ≤ 1000000. The last line contains 0 and this line should not be processed. Input will not contain more than 500000 lines.
Output
For each number from input produce one line of output giving the last remaining card.
Example
Sample Input: 2 3 4 0 Sample Output: 2 2 4

n <= 1 000 000 not 2 <= n <= 1 000 000 |

Similiar to https://www.spoj.com/problems/DANGER/. Get 2 AC's within seconds ;) |

A lot of garbage at the end of the input file, trying to ingest it increased my solution's memory use by 160MB o_O. Shame because it prevents using a method that just might pass in pure Python instead of PyPy. Edit: Passed in pure Python using another trick, still could be faster if input file were clear.

****************** isnt this the answer. I've got like 10 WAs in both java and c++. Re: Not particularly. Last edit: 2016-10-15 19:00:03 |

It is possible to get AC in Python with only few optimizations. |
