register

Primary Register

ID: register

Difficulty: 2.1

CPU Time: 1 second

Memory: 1024 MB

Solution

Since one can consider the registers to be similar to numbers with different bases, it can be difficult to find some way to sum them, or do something clever, so it's easiest to just add 1 to the set of registers, and handle the overflow, and keep doing this until all the registers are at their max capacity. Straightforward.

Time Limit Exceeded

It's as good a time to learn C++ as any.

While there are much "smarter" ways to go around this problem, I decided to use this simply as an opportunity to practice a little bit of C++, so I reimplemented the exact same solution from Python into C++.

On the longest test case (all zeroes):

Time	Python	C++
real	3.446s	0.273s
user	3.418s	0.272s
sys	0.024s	0.001s
