    hi binghan, can you please tell me whether test case 1 output (50091 49909) is right?
    I checked on my solution and its giving 50089 49911.. but takes more than 10 minutes to run on such a big data..
    is it acceptable?

    Hi sol0, the output should be correct. 10 minutes is too long, you might want to optimize your algorithm to fit into less than 5 seconds.

And as expected, the application works just fine. The same application d...

[Magento] Create Contact Form with Dynamic Recipient

-
There are many ways of creating contact forms to email to multiple recipient. I'm going to describe a way that uses Javascript a the frontend to change the target recipient. Advantage of this method: Easy to add in new emails in the future. Disadvantage of this method: For those who are particularly concern email privacy, you might not want to use this method. You can modify the email checking to the backend (controller) instead. Okay enough talking, lets get started. Step 1: Set up HTML form fields I'm going to use an example of drop down select to change the email. Of course, this is fairly easy to modify with other forms as well. Open up app/design/frontend/default/<theme>/template/contacts/contacts.phtml Insert the following snippets anywhere between the <form>...</form> tag. <select name="interest" id="interest" title="<?php echo Mage::helper('contacts')->__('Please select department t...
