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 // C++17: const vector references for inputs, mutable references for outputs, RAII workspace, // standard lower_bound for LIS. Invalid inputs throw invalid_argument; overflow throws // overflow_error; allocation failure propagates bad_alloc. // // EXAMPLE // Expected return: 4. // Run: g++ -std=c++17 -O2 example.cpp -o example && ./example // Tests for this exact source artifact run before publication. The accompanying source // archive includes unit cases, runtime results, and source hashes. static int alg_min(int a, int b) { return a < b ? a : b; } static int alg_max(int a, int b) { return a > b ? a : b; } static void alg_require(bool valid) { if (!valid) throw std::invalid_argument("invalid algorithm input"); } static int alg_checked(int64_t v) { if (v < INT32_MIN || v > INT32_MAX) throw std::overflow_error("32-bit result overflow"); return (int)v; } static int alg_add(int a,int b) { return alg_checked((int64_t)a+b); } static int alg_sub(int a,int b) { return alg_checked((int64_t)a-b); } static int alg_mul(int a,int b) { return alg_checked((int64_t)a*b); } static size_t alg_size(int n) { alg_require(n>=0 && n<=4000000); return (size_t)n; } int coin_combinations(const std::vector<int>& coins, int amount) { alg_require(coins.size() <= 1000000); int m = (int)coins.size(); alg_require(((m >= 0) && (m <= 1000000))); alg_require(((int)coins.size() == m)); alg_require(((amount >= 0) && (amount <= 1000000))); for (int alg_i = 0; alg_i < (int)coins.size(); alg_i++) { int alg_value = coins[alg_i]; alg_require((alg_value > 0)); } std::vector<int> dp(alg_size(alg_add(amount, 1)), 0); dp[0] = 1; int j = 0; int 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]; } int main(void) { std::vector<int> coins = {1, 2, 5}; int amount = 5; int result = coin_combinations(coins, amount); printf("%d\n", result); return 0; } |
