PAT 甲级 1046 Shortest Distance (20 分)（前缀和,想了一会儿）

1046 Shortest Distance (20 分)

 

The task is really simple: given N exits on a highway which forms a simple cycle, you are supposed to tell the shortest distance between any pair of exits.

Input Specification:

Each input file contains one test case. For each case, the first line contains an integer N (in [3]), followed by N integer distances D​1​​ D​2​​ ⋯ D​N​​, where D​i​​is the distance between the i-th and the (-st exits, and D​N​​ is between the N-th and the 1st exits. All the numbers in a line are separated by a space. The second line gives a positive integer M (≤), with M lines follow, each contains a pair of exit numbers, provided that the exits are numbered from 1 to N. It is guaranteed that the total round trip distance is no more than 1.

Output Specification:

For each test case, print your results in M lines, each contains the shortest distance between the corresponding given pair of exits.

Sample Input:

5 1 2 4 14 9
3
1 3
2 5
4 1

Sample Output:

3
10
7

题意：

　　给出一个环形的高速公路，其中有N个出口，第Di​个出口是i到i-1的距离，而DN是N到1 的距离。给出任意两个出口，计算两者的最短距离。

题解：

显而易见，这是一个循环队列，计算距离需要考虑两个方向，但是如果直接遍历的话，时间复杂度为O(n2) O(n^2)O(n 2)这个数据量会超时（第三个测试点），所以我们需要考虑，如何优化这个距离计算过程。不妨考虑，计算每个出口两个方向的累加距离，这样计算两者之间的距离的时候，直接做加减即可，时间复杂度为O(n) O(n)O(n)。
