Putting the coin // loop outside the amount loop prevents counting different orders as different combinations. // // METHOD // There is one way to make zero: choose no coins. Process each denomination once and update // amounts upward so that the same denomination can be reused. // // COMPLEXITY // O(m * amount) time and O(amount) auxiliary space; pseudo-polynomial. // // CONTRACT // Denominations are distinct positive integers, amount >= 0. Counts and array sizes must // fit. Duplicate denominations would overcount. // Public APIs infer array lengths except in C, which accepts pointer/length pairs. Vertex // counts and matrix dimensions remain explicit. Arrays must contain signed 32-bit integers. // Sorted order, correct tree topology, and caller-owned data-structure invariants are // preconditions; checking them on every query would change query complexity. // Scalar and shape checks are included. Value-range checks are included where needed to // prevent invalid indexing or nontermination. Allocation sizes are capped at 4,000,000 // workspace entries. Arithmetic outside Python raises an error on 32-bit overflow; Python // uses arbitrary precision. Native allocation failures propagate. In-place outputs may be // partly updated after arithmetic failure. These are single-threaded, in-memory // implementations. // // LANGUAGE DETAILS // Node.js 18+: Int32Array inputs and workspaces provide compact integer storage. Automatic // lengths and checked arithmetic reject values outside signed 32-bit. Invalid inputs or // overflow throw RangeError. // // EXAMPLE // Expected return: 4. // Run: node example.js // Tests for this exact source artifact run before publication. The accompanying source // archive includes unit cases, runtime results, and source hashes. function alg_require(valid) { if (!valid) throw new RangeError("invalid algorithm input"); } function alg_checked(v) { if (!Number.isInteger(v) || v < -2147483648 || v > 2147483647) throw new RangeError("32-bit result overflow"); return v; } function alg_add(a,b) { return alg_checked(a+b); } function alg_sub(a,b) { return alg_checked(a-b); } function alg_mul(a,b) { return alg_checked(a*b); } function alg_size(n) { alg_require(Number.isInteger(n) && n>=0 && n<=4000000); return n; } function coin_combinations(coins, amount) { alg_require(coins instanceof Int32Array); alg_require(Number.isInteger(amount) && amount >= -2147483648 && amount <= 2147483647); let m = coins.length; alg_require(((m >= 0) && (m <= 1000000))); alg_require((coins.length == m)); alg_require(((amount >= 0) && (amount <= 1000000))); for (let alg_i = 0; alg_i < coins.length; alg_i++) { let alg_value = coins[alg_i]; alg_require((alg_value > 0)); } let dp = new Int32Array(alg_size(alg_add(amount, 1))); dp[0] = 1; let j = 0; let x = 0; while ((j < m)) { x = coins[j]; while ((x <= amount)) { dp[x] = alg_add(dp[x], dp[alg_sub(x, coins[j])]); x = alg_add(x, 1); } j = alg_add(j, 1); } return dp[amount]; } let coins = new Int32Array([1, 2, 5]); let amount = 5; let result = coin_combinations(coins, amount); console.log(result); |
