Hi everyone. I am fairly new to programming. I would be grateful if anyone could provide a counter test case to a solution I had attempted to implement for the problem "Stones" of AtCoder Educational DP Contest.
For the sake of convenience, I have attached the screenshot of the problem here.
My approach was as follows:
declare a dp table consisting of boolean values (initialised to 0) [dimension (n rows & k+1 columns) The definition of my dp state is as follows: dp[i][j] ==> State of the situation when there are j stones and I am considering [A0, A1, ... Ai] choices of taking the stones In a nutshell I am attempting to take the OR of the result dp[i-1][j] & (if j >= a[i]) !(dp[i][j-a[i]])
SOURCE CODE: ~~~~~
include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
void test(vector &a, int k){ bool dp[a.size()][k+1]; memset(dp, 0, sizeof(dp)); int n = a.size(); for(int i = a[0]; i <= k; i++){ dp[0][i] = !(dp[0][i-a[0]]); } for(int i = 1; i < a.size(); i++){ for(int j = 1; j <= k; j++){ bool taken = 0, ignored = 1; if(j — a[i]>=0){ taken = !(dp[i][j-a[i]]); } ignored = dp[i-1][j]; dp[i][j] = taken||ignored; } } if(dp[n-1][k]){ cout << "First" << endl; } else{ cout << "Second"; } return; }
int main(){ int n, k; cin >> n >> k; vector a(n); for(int i =0 ; i < n; i++){ cin >> a[i]; } test(a, k); return 0; } ~~~~~
