C++ program to find maximum how many chocolates we can buy with at most k rupees
Suppose we have an array A with n elements, and other values l, r and k are there. Amal wants to buy chocolates and he will not buy too expensive chocolates, and not also too cheap chocolates. In the store, there are n different chocolate bars and the prices are represented in A. A chocolate bar is too expensive if its price is larger than r and too cheap if its price is less than l. He wants to spend at most k rupees. We have to find the maximum amount of chocolates he can buy.
So, if the input is like A = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]; l = 3; r = 5; k = 10, then the output will be 2, because he can buy chocolates worth rupees 3 and 4 by 7 rupees.
Steps
To solve this, we will follow these steps −
n := size of A ans := 0 sort the array A for initialize i := 0, when i < n, update (increase i by 1), do: if A[i] > k, then: Come out from the loop if A[i] >= l and A[i] <= r, then: k := k - A[i] (increase ans by 1) return ans
Example
Let us see the following implementation to get better understanding −
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
int solve(vector<int> A, int l, int r, int k) {
int n = A.size();
int ans = 0;
sort(A.begin(), A.end());
for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
if (A[i] > k)
break;
if (A[i] >= l && A[i] <= r) {
k -= A[i];
++ans;
}
}
return ans;
}
int main() {
vector<int> A = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 };
int l = 3;
int r = 5;
int k = 10;
cout << solve(A, l, r, k) << endl;
}Input
{ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 }, 3, 5, 10
Output
2
