Sheldon Numbers
According to Sheldon Cooper, the best number is 73. In his own words,
“The best number is 73. 73 is the 21st prime number. Its mirror, 37,
is the 12th, and its mirror, 21, is the product of multiplying 7 and 3.
In binary, 73 is a palindrome: 1001001, which backwards is 1001001.
Exactly the same.”
Prime numbers are boring stuff, and so are palindromes. On the other
hand, the binary representation of 73 is rather remarkable: it’s 1 one
followed by 2 zeroes, followed by 1 one, followed by 2 zeros, followed
by 1 one. This is an interesting pattern that we can generalize: N ones, followed by M
zeros, followed by N ones, followed by M zeros, etc, ending in either N ones or M zeroes.
For 73, N is 1, M is 2, and there are 5 runs of equal symbols. With N = 2, M = 1 and 4
runs, we would have the string 110110, which is the binary representation of 54.
Acknowledging Sheldon’s powerful insight, let us introduce the concept of a Sheldon number:
a positive integer whose binary representation matches the pattern ABABAB . . . ABA
or the pattern ABABAB . . . AB, where all the occurrences of A represent a string with
N occurrences of the bit 1 and where all the occurrences of B represent a string with M
occurrences of the bit 0, with N > 0 and M > 0. Furthermore, in the representation,
there must be at least one occurrence of the string A (but the number of occurrences of
the string B may be zero).
Many important numbers are Sheldon numbers: 1755, the year of the great Lisbon earthquake,
1984, of Orwellian fame, and 2015, the current year! Also, 21, which Sheldon
mentions, is a Sheldon number, and so is 42, the answer given by the Deep Thought
computer to the Great Question of Life, the Universe and Everything.
Clearly, there is an infinite number of Sheldon numbers, but are they more dense or less
dense than prime numbers?
Task
Your task is to write a program that, given two positive integers, computes the number of

numbers that are greater or equal to X and less or equal to Y .
Sample Input 1
1 10
Sample Output 1
10
Output 1 Explanation
All numbers between 1 and 10 are Sheldon Numbers.

70 75
Sample Output 2
1
Output 2 Explanation
73 is the only Sheldon number in this range.
【题意】
给定x,y问[x,y]间有多少数满足条件。
条件:二进制下形式为ABABAB……A,或ABABAB……AB,其中A为任意个数的1,B为任意个数的0;
【解法】
求[x,y]之间的个数可以转化成求[1,y]-[1,x-1],下面讨论求[1,x]的满足题意的数的个数。
枚举A中1的个数(最多63个)和B中0的个数(最多62个),用sum记录答案。起始为AB,每次加上一个A,sum++,再加一个B,sum++,如此循环直到当前的数超过x;
怎么解决溢出问题呢?
我是声明一个变量len,表示当前ABABABAB……串的长度,大于等于64就break。
#include
typedef __int64 ll;
int n,m;
ll x,y;
ll calc(ll x){
ll len=0;
ll num1=0,num2=0,sum=0;
for(int n=1;n<=63;n++){//A
num1=(num1<<1)+1;//B
if(num1>x) break;
sum++;//全都是1的情况
for(int m=1;m<=62;m++){//造零的
if(m==61){
int x=1;
}
len=n;
num2=num1;
num2=num2<=64) break;//超出__int64范围了就得停了哦,不然上溢了会有问题。
while(num2<=x){
sum++;
if(f==2){//当前B后面再加A
len+=n;
f=1;
num2=(num2<110000+11==110011,就把A加上啦
}
else if(f==1){//当前A后面加B的过程
len+=m;
f=2;
num2=num2<11001100;
}
if(len>=64) break;
}
}
}
return sum;
}
int main(){
scanf("%I64d%I64d",&x,&y);
printf("%I64d\n",calc(y)-calc(x-1));
return 0;
}
