How Many Points of Intersection?
| How Many Points of Intersection? |
We have two rows. There are a dots on the top row and b dots on the bottom row. We draw line segments connecting every dot on the top row with every dot on the bottom row. The dots are arranged in such a way that the number of internal intersections among the line segments is maximized. To achieve this goal we must not allow more than two line segments to intersect in a point. The intersection points on the top row and the bottom are not included in our count; we can allow more than two line segments to intersect on those two rows. Given the value of a and b, your task is to compute P(a, b), the number of intersections in between the two rows. For example, in the following figure a = 2 and b = 3. This figure illustrates that P(2, 3) = 3.
Input
Each line in the input will contain two positive integers a ( 0 < a
20000) and b ( 0 < b
20000). Input is terminated by a line where both a and b are zero. This case should not be processed. You will need to process at most 1200 sets of inputs.
Output
For each line of input, print in a line the serial of output followed by the value of P(a, b). Look at the output for sample input for details. You can assume that the output for the test cases will fit in 64-bit signed integers.
Sample Input
2 2 2 3 3 3 0 0
Sample Output
Case 1: 1 Case 2: 3 Case 3: 9

本文介绍了一种计算由上下两排点连线形成的交点数量的方法。通过数学公式快速得出任意两排点(a, b)连线后形成的内部交点总数。输入为两排点的数量,输出则为交点数。
