Cut the sticks

Cut the sticks

  •  
  •  
You are given  sticks, where the length of each stick is a positive integer. A cut operation is performed on the sticks such that all of them are reduced by the length of the smallest stick.
---Solution---

#include <cmath>
#include <cstdio>
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
using namespace std;
int compare (const void * a, const void * b)
{
  return ( *(int*)a - *(int*)b );
}

int main() {
    /* Enter your code here. Read input from STDIN. Print output to STDOUT */   
    int element,k;
    cin>>element;
    int array[element];
    for(int i=0;i<element;i++)
        {
            cin>>array[i];
    }      qsort (array, element, sizeof(int), compare);
    int p=element;
    for(int i=0;i<element;i++)
        { 
         
      
         if(array[i]!=0)
             {cout<<p<<endl;
         if(p<=1)
         {break;}
            for(int j=element-1;j>=i;j--)
                {k=array[j]-array[i];
                if(k==0)
                {
                    array[j]=0;
                    p--;
                }
                 else
                     array[j]=k;
                }}
    }
    return 0;
}

Find Digits

Find Digits Given an integer,  , traverse its digits ( 1 , 2 ,..., n ) and determine how many digits evenly divide   (i.e.: count the number of times   divided by each digit  i  has a remainder of  ). Print the number of evenly divisible digits. Note:  Each digit is considered to be unique, so each occurrence of the same evenly divisible digit should be counted (i.e.: for  , the answer is  ). Solution--- #include<stdio.h> int main() {         int t,i,a,d,c,count,j;         scanf("%d",&t);         for(i=0;i<t;i++)         {       count=0;                 scanf("%d",&a);                 c=a;                 while(a!=0){               ...

Utopian Tree

Utopian Tree The Utopian Tree goes through  2  cycles of growth every year. Each spring, it  doubles  in height. Each summer, its height increases by  1  meter. Laura plants a Utopian Tree sapling with a height of  1  meter at the onset of spring. How tall will her tree be after   growth cycles? ----Solution-- import sys T = int(sys.stdin.readline()) for _ in range(T):     N = int(sys.stdin.readline())     height = 1              for i in range(N):         if i % 2 == 0:             height *= 2         else:             height += 1                  print(height)
