CodeForces 638A Home Numbers

本文介绍了一种算法,用于计算从街道起点到达指定房屋所需的最短时间。该算法适用于一条直线上等距分布的偶数个房屋,其中奇数编号的房屋位于街道一侧,按从左到右顺序排列;偶数编号的房屋位于另一侧,按从右到左顺序排列。

题意:有n个房子,现在左边是 1 3 5 7 9 这样的,右边是 n n-2 n-4 n-6 ... 2这样的,然后问你x房子离起点的距离是多少

思路:分奇偶判一下就行了


#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int n,x;
    cin>>n>>x;
    if(x%2==1)
        cout<<x/2+1<<endl;
    else
        cout<<(n+2-x)/2<<endl;
}

Description

The main street of Berland is a straight line with n houses built along it (n is an even number). The houses are located at both sides of the street. The houses with odd numbers are at one side of the street and are numbered from 1 to n - 1 in the order from the beginning of the street to the end (in the picture: from left to right). The houses with even numbers are at the other side of the street and are numbered from 2 to n in the order from the end of the street to its beginning (in the picture: from right to left). The corresponding houses with even and odd numbers are strictly opposite each other, that is, house 1 is opposite house n, house 3 is opposite house n - 2, house 5 is opposite house n - 4 and so on.

Vasya needs to get to house number a as quickly as possible. He starts driving from the beginning of the street and drives his car to house a. To get from the beginning of the street to houses number 1 and n, he spends exactly 1 second. He also spends exactly one second to drive the distance between two neighbouring houses. Vasya can park at any side of the road, so the distance between the beginning of the street at the houses that stand opposite one another should be considered the same.

Your task is: find the minimum time Vasya needs to reach house a.

Input

The first line of the input contains two integers, n and a (1 ≤ a ≤ n ≤ 100 000) — the number of houses on the street and the number of the house that Vasya needs to reach, correspondingly. It is guaranteed that number n is even.

Output

Print a single integer — the minimum time Vasya needs to get from the beginning of the street to house a.

### 关于 Codeforces Problem 1804A 的解决方案 Codeforces 是一个广受欢迎的在线编程竞赛平台,其中问题 1804A 可能涉及特定算法或数据结构的应用。尽管未提供具体题目描述,但通常可以通过分析输入输出样例以及常见解法来推导其核心逻辑。 #### 题目概述 假设该问题是关于字符串处理、数组操作或其他基础算法领域的内容,则可以采用以下方法解决[^2]: 对于某些初学者来说,遇到不熟悉的语言(如 Fortran),可能会感到困惑。然而,在现代竞赛环境中,大多数情况下会使用更常见的语言(C++、Python 或 Java)。因此,如果题目提及某种神秘的语言,可能只是为了增加趣味性而非实际需求。 #### 解决方案思路 以下是基于一般情况下的潜在解答方式之一: ```cpp #include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; int main(){ int t; cin >> t; // 输入测试用例数量 while(t--){ string s; cin >> s; // 获取每组测试数据 // 假设这里需要执行一些简单的变换或者判断条件... bool flag = true; // 初始化标志位为真 for(char c : s){ if(c != 'a' && c != 'b'){ flag = false; break; } } cout << (flag ? "YES" : "NO") << "\n"; // 输出结果 } return 0; } ``` 上述代码片段展示了一个基本框架,适用于许多入门级字符串验证类问题。当然,这仅作为示范用途;真实场景下需依据具体要求调整实现细节。 #### 进一步探讨方向 除了官方题解外,社区论坛也是获取灵感的好地方。通过阅读他人分享的经验教训,能够加深对该类型习题的理解程度。同时注意积累常用技巧并灵活运用到不同场合之中[^1]。
