Computer simulations often require random numbers. One way to generate pseudo-random numbers is via a function of the form
where ``
" is the modulus operator.
Such a function will generate pseudo-random numbers (seed) between 0 and MOD-1. One problem with functions of this form is that they will always generate the same pattern over and over. In order to minimize this effect, selecting the STEP and MOD values carefully can result in a uniform distribution of all values between (and including) 0 and MOD-1.
For example, if STEP = 3 and MOD = 5, the function will generate the series of pseudo-random numbers 0, 3, 1, 4, 2 in a repeating cycle. In this example, all of the numbers between and including 0 and MOD-1 will be generated every MOD iterations of the function. Note that by the nature of the function to generate the sameseed(x+1) every time seed(x) occurs means that if a function will generate all the numbers between 0 andMOD-1, it will generate pseudo-random numbers uniformly with every MOD iterations.
If STEP = 15 and MOD = 20, the function generates the series 0, 15, 10, 5 (or any other repeating series if the initial seed is other than 0). This is a poor selection of STEP and MOD because no initial seed will generate all of the numbers from 0 and MOD-1.
Your program will determine if choices of STEP and MOD will generate a uniform distribution of pseudo-random numbers.
Input
Each line of input will contain a pair of integers for STEP and MOD in that order (
).
Output
For each line of input, your program should print the STEP value right- justified in columns 1 through 10, the MOD value right-justified in columns 11 through 20 and either ``Good Choice" or ``Bad Choice" left-justified starting in column 25. The ``Good Choice" message should be printed when the selection of STEP andMOD will generate all the numbers between and including 0 and MOD-1 when MOD numbers are generated. Otherwise, your program should print the message ``Bad Choice". After each output test set, your program should print exactly one blank line.
Sample Input
3 5
15 20
63923 99999 Sample Output
3 5 Good Choice
15 20 Bad Choice
63923 99999 Good Choice 首先可以直接暴力計算：
/*0.082s*/
#include<cstdio>
int main()
{
int step, mod, x, count;
while (~scanf("%d%d", &step, &mod))
{
x = 0, count = 0;
do
{
x = (x + step) % mod;
++count;
}
while (x && count != mod);
printf("%10d%10d %s\n\n", step, mod, count == mod && x == 0 ? "Good Choice" : "Bad Choice");
}
return 0;
}
利用上述代碼，可以發現當mod=20時，隻有1,3,7,9,11,13,17,19,...才是好的選擇，而這些數都與20互質。
于是我們猜想：當gcd(step,mod)!=1時，這不是一個好的選擇。
證明：設gcd(step,mod)=k，則step=ka,mod=kb，則無論怎麼計算
seed(x+1) ≡ seed(x) (mod k)
是以必然有些數生成不了。
優化後的代碼：
/*0.022s*/
#include<cstdio>
int gcd(int a, int b)
{
return b ? gcd(b, a % b) : a;
}
int main()
{
int step, mod;
while (~scanf("%d%d", &step, &mod))
printf("%10d%10d %s\n\n", step, mod, gcd(step, mod) == 1 ? "Good Choice" : "Bad Choice");
return 0;
}
