Minimum Time Required
Problem Statement :
You are planning production for an order. You have a number of machines that each have a fixed number of days to produce an item. Given that all the machines operate simultaneously, determine the minimum number of days to produce the required order. For example, you have to produce goal = 10 items. You have three machines that take machines = [2, 3, 2 ] days to produce an item. The following is a schedule of items produced: Day Production Count 2 2 2 3 1 3 4 2 5 6 3 8 8 2 10 It takes 8 days to produce 10 items using these machines. Function Description Complete the minimumTime function in the editor below. It should return an integer representing the minimum number of days required to complete the order. minimumTime has the following parameter(s): machines: an array of integers representing days to produce one item per machine goal: an integer, the number of items required to complete the order Input Format The first line consist of two integers n and goal, the size of machines and the target production. The next line contains n space-separated integers, machines[ i ]. Constraints 1 <= n <= 10^5 1 <= goal <= 10^9 1 <= machines[ i ] <= 10^9 Output Format Return the minimum time required to produce goal items considering all machines work simultaneously.
Solution :
Solution in C :
In C :
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int n;
long long goal, ans;
scanf("%d%lld", &n, &goal);
long long machines[n];
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
scanf("%lld", &machines[i]);
}
long long low = 1;
long long high = 1e18;
while (low <= high) {
long long mid = (low + high) / 2;
long long done = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
done += mid / machines[i];
if (done >= goal)
break;
}
if (done >= goal) {
high = mid - 1;
ans = mid;
} else
low = mid + 1;
}
printf("%lld\n", ans);
return 0;
}
Solution in C++ :
In C ++ :
#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int n;
long long goal,ans;
scanf("%d%lld",&n,&goal);
long long machines[n];
for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
{
scanf("%lld",&machines[i]);
}
long long low=1;
long long high=1e18;
while(low<=high)
{
long long mid=(low+high)/2;
long long done=0;
for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
{
done+=mid/machines[i];
if(done>=goal)
break;
}
if(done>=goal)
{
high=mid-1;
ans=mid;
}
else
low=mid+1;
}
printf("%lld\n",ans);
return 0;
}
Solution in Java :
In Java :
static long minTime(long[] machines, long goal) {
Arrays.sort(machines);
long max = machines[machines.length - 1];
long minDays = 0;
long maxDays = max*goal;
long result = -1;
while (minDays < maxDays) {
long mid = (minDays + maxDays) / 2;
long unit = 0;
for (long machine : machines) {
unit += mid / machine;
}
if (unit < goal) {
minDays = mid+1;
} else {
result = mid;
maxDays = mid;
}
}
return result;
}
Solution in Python :
In Python3 :
def minTime(machines, goal):
machines.sort()
low_rate = machines[0]
lower_bound = (goal // (len(machines) / low_rate))
high_rate = machines[-1]
upper_bound = (goal // (len(machines) / high_rate)) + 1
while lower_bound < upper_bound:
num_days = (lower_bound + upper_bound) // 2
total = getNumItems(machines, goal, num_days)
if total >= goal:
upper_bound = num_days
else:
lower_bound = num_days + 1
return int(lower_bound)
def getNumItems(machines, goal, num_days):
total = 0
for machine in machines:
total += (num_days // machine)
return total

Enter-View ( EV ) is a linear, street-like country. By linear, we mean all the cities of the country are placed on a single straight line - the x -axis. Thus every city's position can be defined by a single coordinate, xi, the distance from the left borderline of the country. You can treat all cities as single points. Unfortunately, the dictator of telecommunication of EV (Mr. S. Treat Jr.) do
