Policeman and Thieves | Hackereath Solution

EasyCodingZone 20:40

  Problem:-

You are given a grid of size N×N that has the following specifications:

  • Each cell in the grid contains either a policeman or a thief.
  • A policeman can only catch a thief if both of them are in the same row.
  • Each policeman can only catch one thief.
  • A policeman cannot catch a thief who is more than K units away from the policeman.

Write a program to find the maximum number of thieves that can be caught in the grid.

Input format

  • First line: T (number of test cases)
    For each test case
  • First line: Two space-separated integers N and K
  • Next N lines: N space-separated characters (denoting each cell in the grid)

Output format

For each test case, print the maximum number of thieves that can be caught in the grid.

Constraints

1≤T≤10
1≤N≤1000
1≤K≤N∗N

Sample Input
1
3 1
P T P
T P T
T T P
Sample Output
3
Time Limit: 1
Memory Limit: 256

Explanation

Total Thieves = 5
Number of thieves reachable by policemen in Row 1 = 1
Number of thieves reachable by policemen in Row 2 = 2
Number of thieves reachable by policemen in Row 3 = 1
However, one policeman can catch at most 1 thief. Hence, in Row 2, only 1 thief is catchable.
Therefore, the 3 thieves can be caught.

 Code:-

Solution 1 ( C language):-

#include<stdio.h>
#define MAX 1001
int myabs(int a){
if(a<0)return -1*a;
return a;
}
int main()
{
int n,k;
char arr[1001][1001];
int pol[MAX];
int p,t;
int thi[MAX];
int l,r;
int out;
int i,j;
int tc;
scanf("%d",&tc);
for(int q =0;q<tc;q++){
out = 0;
scanf("%d",&n);
scanf("%d",&k);
for(i=0;i<n;i++){
for(j=0;j<n;j++){
scanf(" %c",&arr[i][j]);
}
}
for(int i=0;i<n;i++){
p=0;
t=0;
for(int j=0;j<n;j++){
if(arr[i][j]=='P'){
pol[p++]=j;
}
else if(arr[i][j]=='T'){
thi[t++]=j;
}
}
l=0,r=0;
while(l<t&&r<p){
if(myabs(thi[l]-pol[r])<=k){
out++;
l++;
r++;
}
else if(thi[l]<pol[r]){
l++;
}
else{
r++;
}
}
}
printf("%d\n",out);
}
}

Solution 2 ( C++ language):-

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
#define all(s) (s).begin(),(s).end()
#define rall(s) (s).rbegin(),(s).rend()
#define uni(s) (s).erase(unique(all(s)),(s).end())
using namespace std;
typedef long long ll;
typedef long double ld;
typedef pair<int,int> ii;
const int INF = (int)(1e9) + 10;
int N, K;
void solve(){
    cin >> N >> K;
    vector<int> P;
    vector<int> T;
    int ans = 0;
    for (int i =0; i < N; i++){
        for (int j = 0; j < N; j++){
            char c;
            cin >> c;
            if (c == 'P') P.push_back(j);
            else T.push_back(j);
        }
        int j = 0;
        for (int x: P){
            while (j < (int)T.size() && x - T[j] > K) j++;
            if (j < (int)T.size()){
                if (x + K >= T[j]){
                    j++;
                    ans++;
                }
            }
        }
        
        if (!T.empty()) T.clear();
        if (!P.empty()) P.clear();
    }
    cout << ans << '\n';
}
int main(){
    ios::sync_with_stdio(0); cin.tie(nullptr); cout.tie(nullptr);
    int T;
    cin >> T;
    while (T--) solve();
    return 0;
}
