Consider the set \{1,2,\dots,10^9\}. Your task is to compute the nth smallest sum of a subset.
The time complexity of the algorithm should be O(n \log n).
In a file smallsum.py
, implement a function find
that returns the desired answer.
def find(n): # TODO if __name__ == "__main__": print(find(1)) # 0 print(find(2)) # 1 print(find(3)) # 2 print(find(4)) # 3 print(find(5)) # 3 print(find(123)) # 15 print(find(123456)) # 62
