Stop when the available egg count covers all // floors. // // COMPLEXITY // O(eggs * moves) time and O(eggs) space, where moves is the answer. // // CONTRACT // 1<=eggs<=30, 0<=floors<=1000000. Returns the minimum worst-case number of drops. // Reachability is capped at floors to avoid unnecessary growth. // 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: 14. // 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 egg_drop(eggs, floors) { alg_require(Number.isInteger(eggs) && eggs >= -2147483648 && eggs <= 2147483647); alg_require(Number.isInteger(floors) && floors >= -2147483648 && floors <= 2147483647); alg_require(((eggs >= 1) && (eggs <= 30) && (floors >= 0) && (floors <= 1000000))); let reachable = new Int32Array(alg_size(alg_add(eggs, 1))); let moves = 0; let e = 0; while ((reachable[eggs] < floors)) { moves = alg_add(moves, 1); e = eggs; while ((e > 0)) { reachable[e] = Math.min(floors, alg_add(alg_add(reachable[e], reachable[alg_sub(e, 1)]), 1)); e = alg_sub(e, 1); } } return moves; } let eggs = 2; let floors = 100; let result = egg_drop(eggs, floors); console.log(result); |
