題目:
For an integer n, we call k>=2 a good base of n, if all digits of n base k are 1.
Now given a string representing n, you should return the smallest good base of n in string format.
Example 1:
Input: "13" Output: "3" Explanation: 13 base 3 is 111.
Example 2:
Input: "4681" Output: "8" Explanation: 4681 base 8 is 11111.
Example 3:
Input: "1000000000000000000" Output: "999999999999999999" Explanation: 1000000000000000000 base 999999999999999999 is 11.
Note:
- The range of n is [3, 10^18].
- The string representing n is always valid and will not have leading zeros.
代碼:
class Solution {
public:
string smallestGoodBase(string n) {
long long num = stol(n);
for (int i = log(num + 1) / log(2); i >= 2; --i) {
long long left = 2, right = pow(num, 1.0 / (i - 1)) + 1;
while (left < right) {
long long mid = left + (right - left) / 2, sum = 0;
for (int j = 0; j < i; ++j) {
sum = sum * mid + 1;
}
if (sum == num) return to_string(mid);
if (sum < num) left = mid + 1;
else right = mid;
}
}
return to_string(num - 1);
}
};
想法:
結合數學知識,先固定指數m,再固定基數k,然後使用二分搜索法查找合適的數字。
