This is my personal note and might be some kind of user editorial/learning material for some people!
This is the fifth episode of this "note" series. I will write notes on problems (normally around 2400-ish problems), that are both interesting and educational. I normally will spend a few hours on each problem so please be patient when reading the blog.
If you want to motivate me to write a continuation (aka note 6), a significant upvote from you would be well appreciated! If I received lots of downvotes (because I'm also spending a lot of time to write this and to learn latex only to express my ideas accurately to you guys), I'm probably not gonna continuing writing these blogs.
Given three integers $$$N,X,Y$$$. This means that there is an $$$N*N$$$ grid with $$$cell (X,Y)$$$ is black.
The pattern is as follows:
Each $$$#$$$ means that there is a square grid of length $$$M$$$, $$$M$$$ is guaranteed to be odd and $$$M \geq 3$$$.
$$$N \leq 2 * 10^9$$$
Interactive:
Return True if the cell is black
Return False if the cell is white
Find the centre cell of the grid in the pattern. $$$(X_{C}, Y_{C})$$$
I have an ugly code for this problem, please refer to codes from some other coders like ko_osaga.
Hope you guys learnt something from the blog.
