Problem B: Factstone Benchmark
Amtel has announced that it will release a 128-bit computer chip by 2010, a 256-bit computer by 2020, and so on, continuing its strategy of doubling the word-size every ten years. (Amtel released a 64-bit computer in 2000, a 32-bit computer in 1990, a 16-bit computer in 1980, an 8-bit computer in 1970, and a 4-bit computer, its first, in 1960.)Amtel will use a new benchmark - the Factstone - to advertise the vastly improved capacity of its new chips. TheFactstone rating is defined to be the largest integer n such that n! can be represented as an unsigned integer in a computer word.
Given a year 1960 ≤ y ≤ 2160, what will be the Factstone rating of Amtel's most recently released chip?
There are several test cases. For each test case, there is one line of input containing y. A line containing 0 follows the last test case. For each test case, output a line giving the Factstone rating.
Sample Input
1960 1981 0
Output for Sample Input
3 8
计算n! < max(max 为当前计算机能表示的最大整数),求最大n.
解题思路:字节数 t = (year - 1940) / 10, 问题就转化成 n ! < 2 ^ t < (n + 1) !, 如果单纯模拟会溢出, 所以我们对两边同取对数,
#include <cstdio>
#include <math.h>
using namespace std;
int main() {
int year;
while(scanf("%d",&year) != EOF && year) {
int t = (year - 1960)/10;
int bit = 1 << (t + 2);
double max = bit * log(2.0);
double sum = 0;
int i;
for(i = 1; sum < max; i++) {
sum += log(i);
}
printf("%d\n",i-2);
}
return 0;
}
