#K77572. Minimum Coins for Specific Denominations
Minimum Coins for Specific Denominations
Minimum Coins for Specific Denominations
You are given an amount \(S\) and three coin denominations \(a\), \(b\) and \(c\). Your task is to determine the minimum number of coins required to obtain exactly the sum \(S\). If it is not possible to form \(S\) using any combination of the given denominations, output \(-1\).
The problem can be formulated as follows:
Given \(S, a, b, c\), find the minimum number of coins such that:
\[ \text{if } dp[i] = \min\{ dp[i-a], dp[i-b], dp[i-c] \} + 1 \quad \text{for all } i \geq 1, \]with initial condition \(dp[0]=0\). If \(dp[S]\) remains infinity, then the answer is \(-1\).
inputFormat
The input consists of a single line containing four space-separated integers:
- \(S\): the target sum.
- \(a, b, c\): the three coin denominations.
You should read the input from standard input (stdin).
outputFormat
Output a single integer: the minimum number of coins needed to form \(S\). If it is impossible, output \(-1\).
The output should be written to standard output (stdout).
