Construct the Rectangle in C++
Suppose we have a specific rectangular web page area, our job is to design a rectangular web page, whose length L and width W that satisfies the following requirements −
The area of the web page must equal to the given target area.
The width W should not be larger than the length L, and L >= W.
The difference between L and W should be as small as possible.
So, if the input is like 4, then the output will be [2,2], as the target area is 4, and all the possible ways to construct it are [1,4], [2,2], [4,1]. Here as per the requirement, it is 2, [1,4] is illegal; according to requirement 3, [4,1] is not proper compared to [2,2]. So the length L is 2, and the width W is 2.
To solve this, we will follow these steps −
for initialize i := square root of area, when i > 0, update (decrease i by 1), do −
if area mod i is same as 0, then −
Define an array v, insert {area/i, i}
return v
return {-1, -1}
Example
Let us see the following implementation to get a better understanding −
#include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; void print_vector(vector<auto> v){ cout << "["; for(int i = 0; i<v.size(); i++){ cout << v[i] << ", "; } cout << "]"<<endl; } class Solution { public: vector<int> constructRectangle(int area) { for (int i = sqrt(area); i > 0; i--) { if (area % i == 0) { vector<int> v{ area / i, i }; return v; } } return { -1, -1 }; } }; main(){ Solution ob; print_vector(ob.constructRectangle(4)); }
Input
4
Output
[2, 2, ]
