In this question how do you define the size of the array to store previous results while looking for a pattern. During the competition i thought there is no way to be sure so i set the size of array to 10000 to be on the safe side. But it took too much time (more than 8 min) and i missed the question. While doing experiments with my code i changed the size of the array to 10, it gave me the correct result in less than 2 minutes.
Is there a way to prove as few as 10 results would work to decide if a pattern is found? In my case there is no limit to result calculation by the way, i just store and check the last 10 results with the one i found to see if i have a pattern. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "google-codejam" group.
