PROBLEM 5: Bachgold Problem
Problem Reference : Codeforces
Bachgold problem is very easy to formulate. Given a positive integer n represent it as a sum of maximum possible number of prime numbers. One can prove that such representation exists for any integer greater than 1.
Recall that integer k is called prime if it is greater than 1 and has exactly two positive integer divisors — 1 and k.
Input:
The only line of the input contains a single integer n (2 ≤ n ≤ 100 000).
Output:
The first line of the output contains a single integer k — maximum possible number of primes in representation.
The second line should contain k primes with their sum equal to n. You can print them in any order. If there are several optimal solution, print any of them.
Solution:
- import sys
- n = int(input())
- cnt = 0
- l = []
- if n == 3:
- print('1')
- print('3')
- sys.exit()
- if n % 2 == 0:
- while n > 0:
- cnt+=1
- n = n - 2
- l.append('2')
- print(cnt)
- for j in l:
- print(j,end=' ')
- else:
- while n > 0:
- cnt+=1
- n = n - 2
- l.append('2')
- if n == 3:
- n = n - 3
- cnt+=1
- l.append('3')
- break
- print(cnt)
- for j in l:
- print(j,end=' ')
The above solution is in python language.
