A - N-choice question Editorial by en_translator


For beginners
  • If you are new to learning programming and do not know where to start, please try Problem A "Welcome to AtCoder" from practice contest. There you can find a sample code for each language.
  • Also, if you are not familiar with problems in programming contests, we recommend you to try some problems in "AtCoder Beginners Selection".
  • 競プロ典型 90 問」(Typical 90 Problems of Competitive Programming) is a collection of typical 90 competitive programming problems; unfortunately, currently the problem statements are all Japanese.
  • C++入門 AtCoder Programming Guide for beginners (APG4b)」 is a C++ tutorial for competitive programmers. Sadly, this is only in Japanese too.

What you have to do in this problem is:

  • receive the input from the Standard Input;
  • find \(A+B\);
  • find the index of the correct choice; and
  • print the answer to the Standard Output.

If you have trouble in the first and fourth, you can learn in the following way:

  • read the document of or article on your programming language;
  • view other contestant’s code in “all submissions” to learn how to input and output.

The second can be achieved by adding variables.
The third can be achieved with a for loop. Inspect the choice one by one, and store its index once you find the answer.

Sample code (C++):

#include<bits/stdc++.h>

using namespace std;

int main(){
  int n,a,b;
  cin >> n >> a >> b;
  vector<int> c(n);
  for(auto &nx : c){cin >> nx;}
  int ans;
  for(int i=0;i<n;i++){
    if(a+b == c[i]){ans=i+1;break;}
  }
  cout << ans << "\n";
  return 0;
}
