A Communist regime is trying to redistribute wealth in a village. They have have decided to sit everyone around a circular table. First, everyone has converted all of their properties to coins of equal value, such that the total number of coins is divisible by the number of people in the village. Finally, each person gives a number of coins to the person on his right and a number coins to the person on his left, such that in the end, everyone has the same number of coins. Given the number of coins of each person, compute the minimum number of coins that must be transferred using this method so that everyone has the same number of coins.
There is a number of inputs. Each input begins with n(n<1000001), the number of people in the village. nlines follow, giving the number of coins of each person in the village, in counterclockwise order around the table. The total number of coins will fit inside an unsigned 64 bit integer.
For each input, output the minimum number of coins that must be transferred on a single line.
Sample Input
3 100 100 100 4 1 2 5 4
Sample Output
0
4
分析:
设Xi表示第i个人给了i - 1的金币数,M表示最后每个人的金币数,Ai表示第i个人开始的金币数,那么:
首先有:X1 = X1 + 0;
然后,对于第一个人:A1 - x1 + x2 = M -> x2 = x1 - (A1 - M) = x1 - C1(令C1 = A1 - M)
对于第二个人:A2 - x2 + x3 = M -> x3 = x2 - (A2 - M) = x1 - C2(C2 = C1 + A2 - M)
对于第三个人:A3 - x3 + x4 = M -> x4 = x3 - (A3 - M) = x1 - C3(C3 = C2 + A3 - M)
....
对于第n - 1个人:An-1 - Xn-1 + Xn = M -> Xn = Xn-1 - (An-1 - M) = x1 - Cn-1(Cn-1 = Cn-2 + An-1 - M)
对于第n个人则不用考虑,已由第n-1个人推出了Xn。
所以题目变为求|x1| + |x1 + c[0]| + |x1 - c[1]| + ... + |x1 - c[n - 1]|的最小值。也就是在给定的数轴上求点x1到各个点和的最小值,那么容易证明这个点x1在中间部分。
代码如下:
#include <cstdio>
#include <algorithm>
using namespace std;
const int N = 100001;
__int64 A[N],C[N],tot,M;//__int64代替long long
int main()
{
int n;
while (scanf("%d",&n) == 1)//输入数据大,scanf比cin快
{
tot = 0;
for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++)
{
scanf("%lld",&A[i]);
tot += A[i];
}
M = tot / n;
C[0] = 0;
for (int k= 1; k < n; k++)//递推C数组
{
C[k] = C[k - 1] + A[k] - M;
}
sort(C,C + n);
__int64 x1 = C[n / 2],ans = 0;//计算x1
for (int j = 0; j < n; j++)
{
ans += abs(x1 - C[i]);
}
printf("%lld\n",ans);
}
return 0;
}
本文介绍了一个共产主义体制下村庄财富再分配的算法挑战。通过将财产转化为等值货币,并确保总数能被村民人数整除,文章提供了一种计算每个人需转移的最少货币数量的方法,以实现财富均衡。
