1046. Shortest Distance (20)
The task is really simple: given N exits on a highway which forms a simple cycle, you are supposed to tell the shortest distance between any pair of exits.
Input Specification:
Each input file contains one test case. For each case, the first line contains an integer N (in [3, 105]), followed by N integer distances D1D2... DN, where Diis the distance between the i-th and the (i+1)-st exits, and DNis between the N-th and the 1st exits. All the numbers in a line are separated by a space. The second line gives a positive integer M (<=104), with M lines follow, each contains a pair of exit numbers, provided that the exits are numbered from 1 to N. It is guaranteed that the total round trip distance is no more than 107.
Output Specification:
For each test case, print your results in M lines, each contains the shortest distance between the corresponding given pair of exits.
Sample Input:
5 1 2 4 14 9

1 3
2 5
4 1
Sample Output:

思路:以dis[i]表示1号节点按顺时间方向到达“i号节点顺时钟方向的下一个节点”的距离*(1<<i<<N)于是对每个查询left---right,其结果就是dis(left, right)与sum - dis(left, right)中的最小值。
关键点
此题如果没有经过预处理dis数组(把dis数组做成一个累加数组)和sum的做法很容易超时
