Codeforces Round #411(Div. 2)C. Find Amir【思维】

C. Find Amir time limit per test 1 second memory limit per test 256 megabytes input standard input output standard output

A few years ago Sajjad left his school and register to another one due to security reasons. Now he wishes to find Amir, one of his schoolmates and good friends.

There are n schools numerated from 1 to n. One can travel between each pair of them, to do so, he needs to buy a ticket. The ticker between schools i and j costs  and can be used multiple times. Help Sajjad to find the minimum cost he needs to pay for tickets to visit all schools. He can start and finish in any school.

Input

The first line contains a single integer n (1 ≤ n ≤ 105) — the number of schools.

Output

Print single integer: the minimum cost of tickets needed to visit all schools.

Examples input 2 output 0 input 10 output 4 Note

In the first example we can buy a ticket between the schools that costs .

题目大意：

给你N个点，排列成一排，现在从i走到j需要花费（i+j）%（n+1）；

问最少花费，使得走遍所有的点。

一开始我们在点1处。

思路：

从i(i<=n/2)一定可以走到一个点j，使得（i+j）%（n+1）为0.

所以我们假设有：1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

那么我们走的路径为：

1>10>2>9>3>8>4>7>5>6即可。

其花费为4.

那么根据答案就是(n-1)/2.

#include<stdio.h> #include<string.h> using namespace std; int main() { int n; while(~scanf("%d",&n)) { if(n%2==0)printf("%d\n",n/2-1); else printf("%d\n",n/2); } }
