Check if it is possible to move from (0, 0) to (X, Y) in exactly K steps
Given a point (X, Y) in a 2-D plane and an integer K, the task is to check whether it is possible to move from (0, 0) to the given point (X, Y) in exactly K moves. In a single move, the positions that are reachable from (X, Y) are (X, Y + 1), (X, Y – 1), (X + 1, Y) and (X – 1, Y).
Examples:
Input: X = 0, Y = 0, K = 2
Output: Yes
Move 1: (0, 0) -> (0, 1)
Move 2: (0, 1) -> (0, 0)
Input: X = 5, Y = 8, K = 20
Output: No
Approach: It is clear that the shortest path to reach (X, Y) from (0, 0) will be minMoves = (|X| + |Y|). So, if K < minMoves then it is impossible to reach (X, Y) but if K ≥ minMoves then after reaching (X, Y) in minMoves number of moves the remaining (K – minMoves) number of moves have to be even in order to remain at that point for the rest of the moves.
So it is possible to reach (X, Y) from (0, 0) only if K ≥ (|X| + |Y|) and (K – (|X| + |Y|)) % 2 = 0.
Below is the implementation of the above approach:
C++
// C++ implementation of the approach #include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; // Function that returns true if it is // possible to move from (0, 0) to // (x, y) in exactly k moves bool isPossible(int x, int y, int k) { // Minimum moves required int minMoves = abs(x) + abs(y); // If possible if (k >= minMoves && (k - minMoves) % 2 == 0) return true; return false; } // Driver code int main() { int x = 5, y = 8, k = 20; if (isPossible(x, y, k)) cout << "Yes"; else cout << "No"; return 0; } |
