The robot moves as in the earlier exercise this week, but now it repeats the same move sequence k times. How many different squares does the robot visit?
You may assume that the move sequence has at most 100 moves, and that k is in the range 1 \dots 10^9. The algorithm should be efficient within these limits.
In a file longroute.py
, implement a function count
that returns the square count given the move sequence and the repeat count.
def count(s,k): # TODO if __name__ == "__main__": print(count("UR", 100)) # 201 print(count("UD", 100)) # 2 print(count("UURRDDL", 500)) # 1506 print(count("L", 10**9)) # 1000000001 print(count("DLUR", 10**9)) # 4
