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 // C# / .NET 10: ReadOnlySpan<int> inputs, Span<int> outputs, primitive workspace arrays, // Array.BinarySearch for LIS, and checked integer arithmetic. Invalid arguments and overflow // throw exceptions. // // EXAMPLE // Expected return: 14. // Run: Use Program.cs in a net10.0 console project; dotnet run. // Tests for this exact source artifact run before publication. The accompanying source // archive includes unit cases, runtime results, and source hashes. class Program { static void alg_require(bool valid) { if (!valid) throw new ArgumentException("invalid algorithm input"); } static int alg_size(int n) { alg_require(n>=0 && n<=4000000); return n; } static int egg_drop(int eggs, int floors) { checked { alg_require(((eggs >= 1) && (eggs <= 30) && (floors >= 0) && (floors <= 1000000))); int[] reachable = new int[alg_size((eggs + 1))]; int moves = 0; int e = 0; while ((reachable[eggs] < floors)) { moves = (moves + 1); e = eggs; while ((e > 0)) { reachable[e] = Math.Min(floors, ((reachable[e] + reachable[(e - 1)]) + 1)); e = (e - 1); } } return moves; } } static void Main() { int eggs = 2; int floors = 100; int result = egg_drop(eggs, floors); Console.WriteLine(result); } } |
