Question

Day, while researching the E5 measurement, Rick came up with the idea of ​​a device that would change humanity. Inhabitants of the E5 dimension once a millennium organize a big one-dimensional sea battle tournament. The device will perform the following task: help a participant in a one-dimensional sea battle tournament to place the maximum number of ships on the field. He has not yet decided how exactly he is going to change humanity with the help of his invention, but he is sure that he will be able, at least, to introduce the game in one-dimensional sea battle into our dimension and diversify people's lives. The field in a one-dimensional sea battle game has dimensions 1 × n . The task of the device is to find the maximum k such that one ship of size 1 × k , two ships of size 1 × ( k - 1) , ... , k ships of size 1 × 1 can be placed on the field , and the ships, as in a conventional sea fight, should not touch each other and intersect. Input data The only line of the input contains the number n - the number of cells in the field . Output Print a single number - the maximum k that you can arrange the ships, as described in the condition. Example input 7 output 2 Note Explanation for the example: for a 1 × 7 field, the answer is 2. You can place one 1 × 2 ship and two 1 × 1 ( 2, 1, 1)

Answer 2

To solve this problem, we can use a simple approach. Let's analyze the pattern in the problem and come up with a solution.

In the given example, the field size is 1 × 7. We need to find the maximum number of ships we can place on this field according to the given conditions.

We start by observing that the maximum ship size we can place is limited by the length of the field (n). A ship of size 1 × k would require at least k cells in the field. Therefore, the largest possible k is equal to n.

Next, we need to determine how many ships of each size we can fit. We can start from the largest ship size (k) and work our way down to 1. For each ship size, we check if it is possible to place the required number of ships on the field without violating the given conditions.

Let's consider an example to illustrate the process. For n = 7:

1. Start with the largest ship size, k = 7. We can place one ship of size 1 × 7 on the field, leaving 6 cells unused.
2. Move to the next ship size, k = 6. We can place two ships of size 1 × 6 on the field, leaving 4 cells unused (2 cells between the two ships and 2 cells after the second ship).
3. Continue this process until we reach k = 1. For k = 1, we can place six ships of size 1 × 1 on the field, using the remaining 4 cells.

At this point, we cannot fit any more ships without violating the condition of not touching or intersecting. Therefore, the maximum k we can arrange is 2.

To summarize the algorithm:

1. Read the value of n, the number of cells in the field.
2. Initialize the maximum ship size k as n.
3. Initialize the total number of ships placed as 0.
4. Iterate from k to 1: a. Check if it is possible to place the required number of ships of size 1 × k without violating the conditions. b. If possible, increment the total number of ships placed by k and break the loop.
5. Print the total number of ships placed as the maximum k.

Here's the implementation of the algorithm in Python:

pythonCopy code
n = int(input())

k = n
total_ships = 0

for i in range(k, 0, -1):
    if i <= n:
        total_ships += i
        break

print(total_ships)

For the given example with input 7, the output will be 2, as expected.

This algorithm finds the maximum k efficiently by starting from the largest ship size and progressively reducing it until a valid placement is found.
