# Perfect Cubes

For hundreds of years Fermat’s Last Theorem, which stated simply that for n > 2 there exist no integers a, b, c > 1 such that a^n = b^n + c^n, has remained elusively unproven. (A recent proof is believed to be correct, though it is still undergoing scrutiny.) It is possible, however, to find integers greater than 1 that satisfy the “perfect cube” equation a^3 = b^3 + c^3 + d^3 (e.g. a quick calculation will show that the equation 12^3 = 6^3 + 8^3 + 10^3 is indeed true). This problem requires that you write a program to find all sets of numbers {a, b, c, d} which satisfy this equation for a <= 200.

The output should be listed as shown below, one perfect cube per line, in non-decreasing order of a (i.e. the lines should be sorted by their a values). The values of b, c, and d should also be listed in non-decreasing order on the line itself. There do exist several values of a which can be produced from multiple distinct sets of b, c, and d triples. In these cases, the triples with the smaller b values should be listed first.

The first part of the output is shown here:

Cube = 6, Triple = (3,4,5)
Cube = 12, Triple = (6,8,10)
Cube = 18, Triple = (2,12,16)
Cube = 18, Triple = (9,12,15)
Cube = 19, Triple = (3,10,18)
Cube = 20, Triple = (7,14,17)
Cube = 24, Triple = (12,16,20)

Note: The programmer will need to be concerned with an efficient implementation. The official time limit for this problem is 2 minutes, and it is indeed possible to write a solution to this problem which executes in under 2 minutes on a 33 MHz 80386 machine. Due to the distributed nature of the contest in this region, judges have been instructed to make the official time limit at their site the greater of 2 minutes or twice the time taken by the judge’s solution on the machine being used to judge this problem.

mark：水题，枚举a、b、c，在[c,a-1]区间上二分求d后验证。n次wa，二分写得挫。

# include <stdio.h>
# include <math.h>

int sqrt3(int num,int l,int r)
{
int mid = 210 ;
if (l*l*l>num) return 0 ;
if (r*r*r<num) return 210 ;
while (r-l>1){
mid = (r+l)/2 ;
if (mid*mid*mid <= num) l = mid ;
else r = mid ;
}
if (r*r*r==num) return r ;
return l ;
}

int main ()
{
int a, b, c, d ;
for (a = 6 ; a <= 200 ; a++)
for (b = 2 ; b < a ; b++)
for (c = b ; b*b*b+c*c*c < a*a*a ; c++)
{
d=sqrt3(a*a*a-b*b*b-c*c*c,c,a-1) ;
if (d<c) break ;
if (d>=a) continue ;
if(a*a*a==b*b*b+c*c*c+d*d*d)
printf ("Cube = %d, Triple = (%d,%d,%d)\n",
a,b,c,d) ;
}
return 0 ;
}

2. #include <cstdio>
#include <cstring>

const int MAXSIZE=256;
//char store[MAXSIZE];
char str1[MAXSIZE];
/*
void init(char *store) {
int i;
store['A']=’V', store['B']=’W',store['C']=’X',store['D']=’Y',store['E']=’Z';
for(i=’F';i<=’Z';++i) store =i-5;
}
*/
int main() {
//freopen("input.txt","r",stdin);
//init(store);
char *p;
while(fgets(str1,MAXSIZE,stdin) && strcmp(str1,"STARTn")==0) {
if(p=fgets(str1,MAXSIZE,stdin)) {
for(;*p;++p) {
//*p=store[*p]
if(*p<’A’ || *p>’Z') continue;
if(*p>’E') *p=*p-5;
else *p=*p+21;
}
printf("%s",str1);
}
fgets(str1,MAXSIZE,stdin);
}
return 0;
}

3. 我还有个问题想请教一下，就是感觉对于新手来说，递归理解起来有些困难，不知有没有什么好的方法或者什么好的建议？
