Project Euler #147: Rectangles in cross-hatched grids
+ 0 comments yes, but in a 3x2 grid there are 1 possible 3x2 grid -> 37(18 upright + 19 diagonal) 6 possible 1x1 grids -> 6(6 upright + 0 diagonal) 4 possible 2x1 grids -> 16(12 upright + 4 diagonal) 2 possible 3x1 grids -> 16(12 upright + 4 diagonal) 3 possible 1x2 grids -> 12(9 upright + 3 diagonal) 2 possible 2x2 grids ->36 (18 upright + 18 diagonal) so, total = 37 +6 + 16 + 16 + 12 + 36 = 123 out of 123, 75 =(18+9+12+12+6+18) are upright and 48= (19+4+4+3+18) are diagonal
+ 0 comments It is given that the number of 1*1 grid is 1.....How is that possible ...there are so many 1*1 grid ..plz explain the terminology of 3*2,1*1 etc...
+ 1 comment Please I really need clarifications with the wording of this question.
when you say a 3x2 grid, I am thinking a grid with 3 rows and 2 columns and I cant see that here.
Also it says "There are 5 grids smaller than 3x2, vertical and horizontal dimensions being important....",5 grids smaller? Please how do you define a grid ?
Also where the problem said "Adding those to the 37 of the 3x2 grid, a total of 72 different rectangles" ... how did 72 come about. I can just think of 37 + 18 = 55.
+ 1 comment Let grid size is MxN (M<=N)
for upright rectangles of m <= M & n <= N
number of rectangles possible is (1+(M-m))*(1+(N-n)) usin this I can get upright rectangles of all sizes.
for diagonal rectangles I could only figure out for 1xn (and nx1) sizes.
how to figure out rest of the diagonal rectangles?Any help!
