I have been working on this for 24 hours now, trying to optimize it. The question is how to find the number of trailing zeroes in factorial of a number in range of 10000000 and 10 million test cases in about 8 secs.
The code is as follows:
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int count5(int a){
int b=0;
for(int i=a;i>0;i=i/5){
if(i%15625==0){
b=b+6;
i=i/15625;
}
if(i%3125==0){
b=b+5;
i=i/3125;
}
if(i%625==0){
b=b+4;
i=i/625;
}
if(i%125==0){
b=b+3;
i=i/125;
}
if(i%25==0){
b=b+2;
i=i/25;
}
if(i%5==0){
b++;
}
else
break;
}
return b;
}
int main(){
i开发者_如何学Pythonnt l;
int n=0;
cin>>l; //no of test cases taken as input
int *T = new int[l];
for(int i=0;i<l;i++)
cin>>T[i]; //nos taken as input for the same no of test cases
for(int i=0;i<l;i++){
n=0;
for(int j=5;j<=T[i];j=j+5){
n+=count5(j); //no of trailing zeroes calculted
}
cout<<n<<endl; //no for each trialing zero printed
}
delete []T;
}
Please help me by suggesting a new approach, or suggesting some modifications to this one.
Use the following theorem:
If p is a prime, then the highest power of p which divides n! (n factorial) is [n/p] + [n/p^2] + [n/p^3] + ... + [n/p^k], where k is the largest power of p <= n, and [x] is the integral part of x.
Reference: PlanetMath
The optimal solution runs in O(log N)
time, where N
is the number you want to find the zeroes for. Use this formula:
Zeroes(N!) = N / 5 + N / 25 + N / 125 + ... + N / 5^k
, until a division becomes 0. You can read more on wikipedia.
So for example, in C this would be:
int Zeroes(int N)
{
int ret = 0;
while ( N )
{
ret += N / 5;
N /= 5;
}
return ret;
}
This will run in 8 secs on a sufficiently fast computer. You can probably speed it up by using lookup tables, although I'm not sure how much memory you have available.
Here's another suggestion: don't store the numbers, you don't need them! Calculate the number of zeroes for each number when you read it.
If this is for an online judge, in my experience online judges exaggerate time limits on problems, so you will have to resort to ugly hacks even if you have the right algorithm. One such ugly hack is to not use functions such as cin
and scanf
, but instead use fread
to read a bunch of data at once in a char array, then parse that data (DON'T use sscanf or stringstreams though) and get the numbers out of it. Ugly, but a lot faster usually.
This question is from codechef.

How about this solution:
#include <stdio.h>
int a[] = {5, 25, 125, 625, 3125, 15625, 78125, 390625, 1953125, 9765625, 48828125, 244140625};
int main()
{
int i, j, l, n, ret = 0, z;
scanf("%d", &z);
for(i = 0; i < z; i++)
{
ret = 0;
scanf("%d", &n);
for(j = 0; j < 12; j++)
{
l = n / a[j];
if(l <= 0)
break;
ret += l;
}
printf("%d\n", ret);
}
return 0;
}
Any optimizations???
Knows this is over 2 years old but here's my code for future reference:
#include <cmath>
#include <cstdio>
inline int read()
{
char temp;
int x=0;
temp=getchar_unlocked();
while(temp<48)temp=getchar_unlocked();
x+=(temp-'0');
temp=getchar_unlocked();
while(temp>=48)
{
x=x*10;
x+=(temp-'0');
temp=getchar_unlocked();
}
return x;
}
int main()
{
int T,x,z;
int pows[]={5,25,125,625,3125,15625,78125,390625,1953125,9765625,48828125,244140625};
T=read();
for(int i=0;i<T;i++)
{
x=read();
z=0;
for(int j=0;j<12 && pows[j]<=x;j++)
z+=x/pows[j];
printf("%d\n",z);
}
return 0;
}

Here is my accepted solution. Its score is 1.51s, 2.6M. Not the best, but maybe it can help you.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void calculateTrailingZerosOfFactoriel(int testNumber)
{
int numberOfZeros = 0;
while (true)
{
testNumber = testNumber / 5;
if (testNumber > 0)
numberOfZeros += testNumber;
else
break;
}
cout << numberOfZeros << endl;
}
int main()
{
//cout << "Enter number of tests: " << endl;
int t;
cin >> t;
for (int i = 0; i < t; i++)
{
int testNumber;
cin >> testNumber;
calculateTrailingZerosOfFactoriel(testNumber);
}
return 0;
}
#include <cstdio>
int main(void) {
long long int t, n, s, i, j;
scanf("%lld", &t);
while (t--) {
i=1; s=0; j=5;
scanf("%lld", &n);
while (i != 0) {
i = n / j;
s = s + i * (2*j + (i-1) * j) / 2;
j = j * 5;
}
printf("%lld\n", s);
}
return 0;
}
You clearly already know the correct algorithm. The bottleneck in your code is the use of cin/cout. When dealing with very large input, cin is extremely slow compared to scanf.
scanf is also slower than direct methods of reading input such as fread, but using scanf is sufficient for almost all problems on online judges.
This is detailed in the Codechef FAQ, which is probably worth reading first ;)
