In this HackerRank Down to Zero II problem, we have given Q queries. each query consists of a single number N. we need to determine the minimum number of moves required to reduce the value of N to 0 after performing operations on N.
Problem solution in Python programming.
import collections
lim = 10**6+1
dist = [0]*lim
active = collections.deque()
active.append(0)
while active:
n = active.popleft()
d = dist[n]+1
x = n + 1
if x < lim and dist[x] == 0:
dist[x] = d
active.append(x)
for m in range(2,n+1):
x = m * n
if x >= lim: break
if dist[x] == 0:
dist[x] = d
active.append(x)
Q = int(input())
for q in range(Q):
N = int(input())
