Add All
Input:
 standard input
Output: standard output

Yup!! The problem name reflects your task; just add a set of numbers. But you may feel yourselves condescended, to write a C/C++ program just to add a set of numbers. Such a problem will simply question your erudition. So, let’s add some flavor of ingenuity to it.

 

Addition operation requires cost now, and the cost is the summation of those two to be added. So, to add 1 and 10, you need a cost of 11. If you want to add 12 and 3. There are several ways –

 

1 + 2 = 3, cost = 3

3 + 3 = 6, cost = 6

Total = 9

1 + 3 = 4, cost = 4

2 + 4 = 6, cost = 6

Total = 10

2 + 3 = 5, cost = 5

1 + 5 = 6, cost = 6

Total = 11

 

I hope you have understood already your mission, to add a set of integers so that the cost is minimal.

 

Input

Each test case will start with a positive number, N (2 ≤ N ≤ 5000) followed by N positive integers (all are less than 100000). Input is terminated by a case where the value of N is zero. This case should not be processed.

 

Output

For each case print the minimum total cost of addition in a single line.

题目的意思是每次只能使两个数相加 此次的和为这次操作的花费 最后要使所有的数加起来 求最小的花费 ,很明显是一道贪心的题目,但是每次加法操作产生的结果也要参与进来 ,因此我们需要用到优先队列

代码如下:

#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <queue>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    int n;
    while(cin>>n,n){
        int a;
        priority_queue<long long, vector<long long>, greater<long long> >q;//从小到大
        //重载优先级,默认的是从大到小排列        
        for(int i=0;i<n;i++){
            cin>>a;
            q.push(a);
        }
        long long ans=0,x1,x2;
        while(!q.empty()){
           x1=q.top();
           q.pop();//注意只剩一个元素的时候
           if(q.empty())
             break;
           x2=q.top();
           q.pop();
           x1+=x2;
           ans+=x1;
           q.push(x1);
        }
        cout<<ans<<endl;
    }
    return 0;
}
