771×133 6.38 KB

EXPLAINATION :

The problem doesn’t required any special algorithm.

More the number of digits larger the number obtained.

With minimum 2 sticks we get a new digit i.e. 1

As 2<=N<=100, the only thing we need to check is whether N is even or odd.

if N is even the resultant number will contain only 1s. If it is odd we can use 7 at leftmost place as it requires only 3 sticks followed by (n-3) 1s.

Nice initiative but Framing of this editorial is not right. You must use proper format of HTML and their tags so that it become eye catchy for all the viewers. Just have take a look of other editorial at codechef.
