You are given n rods of length 1, 2, . . . , n. You have to pick any 3 of them and build a triangle. How
many distinct triangles can you make? Note that, two triangles will be considered different if they have
at least 1 pair of arms with different length.
Input
The input for each case will have only a single positive integer n (3 ≤ n ≤ 1000000). The end of input
will be indicated by a case with n < 3. This case should not be processed.
Output
For each test case, print the number of distinct triangles you can make.
Sample Input
5
8
0
Sample Output
3

数论~
首先,这个题一定要枚举最大边长度,用最小边长度的话没法递推预处理。
然后,列一些数据找规律,就能发现规律,比如最长边为8,那么次长边为7时,2~6都可以组成;次长边为6时,3~5都可以……是一个等差数列,注意边角求和就可以了。
最后,计算过程中一定要乘1ll之类,否则会WA……
#include<cstdio>
#define ll long long
int n;
ll ans[1000001];
int main()
{
for(int i=4;i<=1000000;i++)
{
ans[i]=(1ll*i*i-4ll*i+4ll)/4ll;ans[i]+=ans[i-1];
}
while(scanf("%d",&n)==1 && n>2) printf("%lld\n",ans[n]);
return 0;
}
