Ok, this may seem trivial to some, but I'm stuck.
Here's the algorithm I'm supposed to use:
Here’s a recursive algorithm. Suppose we have n integers in a non-increasing sequence, of which the first is the number k. Subtract one from each of the first k numbers after the first. (If there are fewer than k such number, the sequence is not graphical.) If necessary, sort the resulting sequence of n-1 numbers (ignoring the first one) into a non-increasing sequence. The original sequence is graphical if and only if the second one is. For the stopping conditions, note that a sequence of all zeroes is graphical, and a sequence containing a negative number is not. (The proof of this is not difficult, but we won’t deal with it here.)
Example:
Original sequence: 5, 4, 3, 3, 2, 1, 1
Subtract 1 five times: 3, 2, 2, 1, 0, 1
Sort: 3, 2, 2, 1, 1, 0
Subtract 1 three times: 1, 1, 0, 1, 0
Sort: 1, 1, 1, 0, 0
Subtract 1 once: 0, 1, 0, 0
Sort: 1, 0, 0, 0
Subtract 1 once: -1, 0, 0
We have a negative number, so the original sequence is not graphical.
This seems simple enough to me, but when I try to execute the algorithm I get stuck.
Here's the function I've written so far:
//main
int main ()
{
//local variables
const int MAX = 30;
ifstream in;
ofstream out;
int graph[MAX], size;
bool isGraph;
//open and test file
in.open("input3.txt");
if (!in) {
cout << "Error reading file. Exiting program." << endl;
exit(1);
}
out.open("output3.txt");
while (in >> size) {
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
in >> graph[i];
}
isGraph = isGraphical(graph, 0, size);
if (isGraph) {
out << "Yes\n";
}else
out << "No\n";
}
//close all files
in.close();
out.close();
cin.get();
return 0;
}//end main
bool isGraphical(int degrees[], int start, int end){
bool isIt = false;
int ender;
inSort(degrees, end);
ender = degrees[start] + start + 1;
for(int i = 0; i < end; i++)
cout << degrees[i];
cout << endl;
if (degrees[start] == 0){
if(degrees[end-1] < 0)
return false;
else
return true;
}
else{
for(int i = start + 1; i < ender; i++) {
degrees[i]--;
}
isIt = isGraphical(degrees, start+1, end);
}
return isIt;
}
void inSort(int x[],int length)
{
for(int i = 0; i < length; ++i)
{
int current = x[i];
int j;
for(j = i-1; j >= 0 && current > x[j]; --j)
{
x[j+1] = x[j];
}
x[j+1] = current;
}
}
I seem to get what that sort function is doing, but when I debug, the values keep jumping around. Which I assume is coming from my recursive function.
Any help?
EDIT:
Code is functional. Please see the history if needed.
With help from #RMartinhoFernandes I updated my code. Includes working insertion sort.
I updated the inSort funcion boundaries
I added an additional ending condition from the comments. But the algorithm still isn't working. Which makes me thing my base statements are off. Would anyone be able to help further? What am I missing here?
Ok, I helped you out in chat, and I'll post a summary of the issues you had here.
The insertion sort inner loop should go backwards, not forwards. Make it for(i = (j - 1); (i >= 0) && (key > x[i]); i--);
There's an out-of-bounds access in the recursion base case: degrees[end] should be degrees[end-1];
while (!in.eof()) will not read until the end-of-file. while(in >> size) is a superior alternative.
Are you sure you ender do not go beyond end? Value of ender is degrees[start] which could go beyond the value of end.
Then you are using ender in for loop
for(int i = start+1; i < ender; i++){ //i guess it should be end here
I think your insertion sort algorithm isn't right. Try this one (note that this sorts it in the opposite order from what you want though). Also, you want
for(int i = start + 1; i < ender + start + 1; i++) {
instead of
for(int i = start+1; i < ender; i++)
Also, as mentioned in the comments, you want to check if degrees[end - 1] < 0 instead of degrees[end].

My function adds all elements of an array together and takes the "start" pointer and the "end" pointer(I know there are easier ways to get the sum). My problem is that my for-loop is skipped. But if I test the condition separately it works. Does that have anything to do with the order of execution of the for-loop?
My example:
int arr[]={3, 2, 1, 1}
int *start = &arr[0]
int *end = &arr[3]
printf("%d\n", (&start[0] == end)) //The result is 0(false)
printf("%d\n", (&start[3] == end)); // The result is 1(true)
for (int i = 0; (&start[i] == end); i++) // The for-loop dosen't get executed.
if i==0 then the condition is false, so the loop is not executed..
if you want to go through the array you should write &start[i] != end for the condition
I have got a code that generates all possible correct strings of balanced brackets. So if the input is n = 4 there should be 4 brackets in the string and thus the answers the code will give are: {}{} and
{{}}.
Now, what I would like to do is print the number of possible strings. For example, for n = 4 the outcome would be 2.
Given my code, is this possible and how would I make that happen?
Just introduce a counter.
// Change prototype to return the counter
int findBalanced(int p,int n,int o,int c)
{
static char str[100];
// The counter
static int count = 0;
if (c == n) {
// Increment it on every printout
count ++;
printf("%s\n", str);
// Just return zero. This is not used anyway and will give
// Correct result for n=0
return 0;
} else {
if (o > c) {
str[p] = ')';
findBalanced(p + 1, n, o, c + 1);
}
if (o < n) {
str[p] = '(';
findBalanced(p + 1, n, o + 1, c);
}
}
// Return it
return count;
}
What you're looking for is the n-th Catalan number. You'll need to implement binomial coefficient to calculate it, but that's pretty much it.
Good day,
I think I've tried everything to figure out where the problem is but I couldn't. I have the following code for a host:
cl_mem cl_distances = clCreateBuffer(context, CL_MEM_READ_WRITE, 2 * sizeof(cl_uint), NULL, NULL);
clSetKernelArg(kernel, 0, sizeof(cl_mem), &cl_distances);
cl_event event;
clEnqueueNDRangeKernel(command_queue, kernel, 1, NULL, &global_workers, &local_workers, 0, NULL, &event);
clWaitForEvents(1, &event);
And for a device:
__kernel void walk(__global uint *distance_results)
{
uint global_size = get_global_size(0);
uint local_size = get_local_size(0);
uint global_id = get_global_id(0);
uint group_id = get_group_id(0);
uint local_id = get_local_id(0);
for (uint step = 0; step < 500; step++) {
if (local_id == 0) {
distance_results[group_id] = 0;
}
barrier(CLK_LOCAL_MEM_FENCE);
for (uint n = global_id; n < 1000; n += global_size) {
if (local_id == 0) {
atomic_add(&distance_results[group_id], 1);
}
}
barrier(CLK_GLOBAL_MEM_FENCE);
if (global_id == 0) {
for (uint i = 0; i < (global_size / local_size); i++) {
printf("step: %d; group: %d; data: %d\n", step, i, distance_results[i]);
}
}
barrier(CLK_GLOBAL_MEM_FENCE);
}
}
So at each "step" I just add one 1 to distance[group_id] 1000 times from each group. And then I just read the result from thread with global_id == 1.
At each step I should have the following text:
step: 59; group: 0; data: 500
step: 59; group: 1; data: 500
But actually there are a lot of strings with wrong data:
step: 4; group: 0; data: 500
step: 4; group: 1; data: 210
step: 5; group: 0; data: 500
step: 5; group: 1; data: 214
If I set global_workers to 1 and local_workers to 1 then everything is okay. But if I set global_workers to 2 and local_workers to 1 then I have this strange behavior.
Do you have any ideas why this can happen?
There's a couple things going on here, but I think the core problem comes from a very common misunderstanding with OpenCL. This call:
barrier(CLK_GLOBAL_MEM_FENCE);
This is not a global barrier. It is a local barrier with a global memory fence. In other words, it still only synchronizes between work items in a single work group, not between work items in other work groups.
The loop in the code that prints the results will only have correct values for work group 0, since it is only run in work group 0. If you really want this code to work, the loop that prints the results would have to be in a separate NDRange, with proper synchronization between the NDRanges.
The memory fence just controls which types of memory writes will be committed to memory. And in this case, you want global fences for both, since you are trying to fence global memory writes, not local memory writes.
I cant find the error in this code, Im looking at it for hours... Valgrind says:
==23114== Invalid read of size 1
==23114== Invalid write of size 1
I tried debugging with some printfs, and i think that the error is in this function.
void rdm_hide(char *name, Byte* img, Byte* bits, int msg, int n, int size)
{
FILE *fp;
int r;/
Byte* used;
int i = 0, j = 0;
int p;
fp = fopen(name, "wb");
used = malloc(sizeof(Byte) * msg);
for(i = 0; i < msg; i++)
used[i] = -1;
while(i < 3)
{
if(img[j] == '\n')
i++;
j++;
}
for(i = 0; i < msg; i++)
{
r = genrand_int32();
p = r % n;
if(!search(p, used, msg))
{
used[i] = (Byte)p;
if(bits[i] == (Byte)0)
img[j + p] = img[j + p] & (~1);
else if(bits[i] == (Byte)1)
img[j + p] = img[j + p] | 1;
}
else
i --;
}
for(i = 0; i < size; i++)
fputc( (char) img[i], fp);
fclose(fp);
free(used);
}
Thanks for help!
==23114== Invalid read of size 1

I am pretty sure that's not all valgrind says.
You should
Build your program with debug info (most likely -g flag). This will let valgrind tell you exactly which line triggers invalid read and write
If the problem doesn't become obvious, edit your question and include entire valgrind output.
Re-running valgrind --track-origins=yes your-exe may provide additional useful info.
Lastly, your algorithm appears to be totally bogus. As far as I can tell, the j becomes 3 after the first while loop and never changes after that (in which case you should just use const int j = 3; and do away with j++). Also, you reference img[j + p], where p is between 0 and n. If n is indeed the size of img, then it's little surprise that j + p indexes outside of the img limits, and triggers both errors.
Have you tried the latest Codility test?
I felt like there was an error in the definition of what a K-Sparse number is that left me confused and I wasn't sure what the right way to proceed was. So it starts out by defining a K-Sparse Number:
In the binary number "100100010000" there are at least two 0s between
any two consecutive 1s. In the binary number "100010000100010" there
are at least three 0s between any two consecutive 1s. A positive
integer N is called K-sparse if there are at least K 0s between any
two consecutive 1s in its binary representation. (My emphasis)
So the first number you see, 100100010000 is 2-sparse and the second one, 100010000100010, is 3-sparse. Pretty simple, but then it gets down into the algorithm:
Write a function:
class Solution { public int sparse_binary_count(String S,String T,int K); }
that, given:
string S containing a binary representation of some positive integer A,
string T containing a binary representation of some positive integer B,
a positive integer K.
returns the number of K-sparse integers within the range [A..B] (both
ends included)
and then states this test case:
For example, given S = "101" (A = 5), T = "1111" (B=15) and K=2, the
function should return 2, because there are just two 2-sparse integers
in the range [5..15], namely "1000" (i.e. 8) and "1001" (i.e. 9).
Basically it is saying that 8, or 1000 in base 2, is a 2-sparse number, even though it does not have two consecutive ones in its binary representation. What gives? Am I missing something here?
Tried solving that one. The assumption that the problem makes about binary representations of "power of two" numbers being K sparse by default is somewhat confusing and contrary.
What I understood was 8-->1000 is 2 power 3 so 8 is 3 sparse. 16-->10000 2 power 4 , and hence 4 sparse.
Even we assume it as true , and if you are interested in below is my solution code(C) for this problem. Doesn't handle some cases correctly, where there are powers of two numbers involved in between the two input numbers, trying to see if i can fix that:
int sparse_binary_count (const string &S,const string &T,int K)
{
char buf[50];
char *str1,*tptr,*Sstr,*Tstr;
int i,len1,len2,cnt=0;
long int num1,num2;
char *pend,*ch;
Sstr = (char *)S.c_str();
Tstr = (char *)T.c_str();
str1 = (char *)malloc(300001);
tptr = str1;
num1 = strtol(Sstr,&pend,2);
num2 = strtol(Tstr,&pend,2);
for(i=0;i<K;i++)
{
buf[i] = '0';
}
buf[i] = '\0';
for(i=num1;i<=num2;i++)
{
str1 = tptr;
if( (i & (i-1))==0)
{
if(i >= (pow((float)2,(float)K)))
{
cnt++;
continue;
}
}
str1 = myitoa(i,str1,2);
ch = strstr(str1,buf);
if(ch == NULL)
continue;
else
{
if((i % 2) != 0)
cnt++;
}
}
return cnt;
}
char* myitoa(int val, char *buf, int base){
int i = 299999;
int cnt=0;
for(; val && i ; --i, val /= base)
{
buf[i] = "0123456789abcdef"[val % base];
cnt++;
}
buf[i+cnt+1] = '\0';
return &buf[i+1];
}
There was an information within the test details, showing this specific case. According to this information, any power of 2 is considered K-sparse for any K.
You can solve this simply by binary operations on integers. You are even able to tell, that you will find no K-sparse integers bigger than some specific integer and lower than (or equal to) integer represented by T.
As far as I can see, you must pay also a lot of attention to the performance, as there are sometimes hundreds of milions of integers to be checked.
My own solution, written in Python, working very efficiently even on large ranges of integers and being successfully tested for many inputs, has failed. The results were not very descriptive, saying it does not work as required within question (although it meets all the requirements in my opinion).
