In this HackerRank Hackerland Radio Transmitters problem solution we have given a map of Hackerland and the transmission range, determine the minimum number of transmitters so that every house is within range of at least one transmitter. Each transmitter must be installed on top of an existing house.
Problem solution in Python.
n,k = input().strip().split(' ') n,k = [int(n),int(k)] x = [int(x_temp) for x_temp in input().strip().split(' ')] x.sort() l = list() #To remove duplicates l = [0 for i in range(100001)] for i in x: l[i-1] = 1 #print(i) x = [] for i in range(100001): if l[i] == 1: x.append(i+1) #print(x) start = 0 i = 0 c = 1 n = len(x) while i < n: if x[i] <= x[start] + k: i = i + 1 continue else: s = i-1 while i < n and x[s] + k >= x[i]: i += 1 start = i if i < n: c += 1 print(c)
