DAS PROBLEM DES FAULEN CATERERS

Geben Sie eine ganze Zahl n an, die die Anzahl der Schnitte angibt, die an einem Pfannkuchen gemacht werden können, und ermitteln Sie die maximale Anzahl an Stücken, die durch n Schnitte gebildet werden können.
Beispiele:

Java virtuelle Maschine

Input : n = 1 Output : 2 With 1 cut we can divide the pancake in 2 pieces Input : 2 Output : 4 With 2 cuts we can divide the pancake in 4 pieces Input : 3 Output : 7 We can divide the pancake in 7 parts with 3 cuts Input : 50 Output : 1276

Let f(n) denote the maximum number of pieces that can be obtained by making n cuts. Trivially f(0) = 1 As there'd be only 1 piece without any cut. Similarly f(1) = 2 Proceeding in similar fashion we can deduce the recursive nature of the function. The function can be represented recursively as :   f(n) = n + f(n-1)   Hence a simple solution based on the above formula can run in O(n).

Wir können die obige Formel optimieren.

We now know  f(n) = n + f(n-1) Expanding f(n-1) and so on we have  f(n) = n + n-1 + n-2 + ...... + 1 + f(0) which gives f(n) = (n*(n+1))/2 + 1

Daher können wir mit dieser Optimierung alle Abfragen in O(1) beantworten.
