Between Two Sets Hacker Rank Solution in C


#include<stdio.h>

    int m;
    scanf("%i %i", &n, &m);

    1. given in problem statement
      Let us consider one number, say x

      each element in first array divides x
      i.e, x%first_array_element is zero
      first_array_elements must be <=x (as first_array_element is in denominator & denominator must be < numerator(x))


      each element of second array when divided by x leaves a reminder zero i.e,
      second_array_element%x is zero
      so second array elements must be >=x

      so the answer will be between a[n-1] and b[0]

    2. For this don't we have to sort array first

    3. No..You need not sort. As you can start the loop from n i.e, for(t=n;t<=b[0];t++)
      I have changed the code such that even beginners can understand my logic.

  2. Could you please elaborate this?

    1. 1)only last member of firstarray may divide all and get remainder 0 if possible else only numbers greater than last member in first array can;
      2)so he initiated for loop with n as n will be surely less than the last member of first array as they are already given in ascending order;
      3)then he tested, will every member of first array gives remainder 0 or not with anynumber starting from n;
      4) if not flag 1 turns to 1 and breaks out of forloop;
      he did samething with second array but in some different manner(will this number be divisible by every member of second array or not)
      5)if both satisfies total will be incremented by 1;
      6)finally we will gwt the count of total such type of numbers that satisfies the two given conditions

  3. for(t=n;t<=b[0];t++)

    here why t=n?
