Greedy Gift Givers

Greedy Gift Givers

A group of NP (2 ≤ NP ≤ 10) uniquely named friends has decided to exchange gifts of money. Each of these friends might or might not give some money to some or all of the other friends (although some might be cheap and give to no one). Likewise, each friend might or might not receive money from any or all of the other friends. Your goal is to deduce how much more money each person receives than they give.

The rules for gift-giving are potentially different than you might expect. Each person goes to the bank (or any other source of money) to get a certain amount of money to give and divides this money evenly among all those to whom he or she is giving a gift. No fractional money is available, so dividing 7 among 2 friends would be 3 each for the friends with 1 left over – that 1 left over goes into the giver’s “account”. All the participants’ gift accounts start at 0 and are decreased by money given and increased by money received.

In any group of friends, some people are more giving than others (or at least may have more acquaintances) and some people have more money than others.

	Given:
	a group of friends, no one of whom has a name longer than 14 characters,
	the money each person in the group spends on gifts, and
	a (sub)list of friends to whom each person gives gifts,
	determine how much money each person ends up with.

INPUT FORMAT

Line #Contents
1 A single integer, NP
2..NP+1 Line i+1 contains the name of group member i
NP+2..end NP groups of lines organized like this:
The first line of each group tells the person's name who will be giving gifts.
The second line in the group contains two numbers:
  • The amount of money (in the range 0..2000) to be divided into gifts by the giver
  • NGi (0 ≤ NGi ≤ NP), the number of people to whom the giver will give gifts
If NGi is nonzero, each of the next NGi lines lists the name of a recipient of a gift; recipients are not repeated in a single giver's list.

OUTPUT EXPLANATION

davelauraowenvickamr
0 0 0 0 0
First, 'dave' splits 200 among 'laura', 'owen', and 'vick'. That comes to 66 each, with 2 left over
-200+2+66 +66 +66 0
-19866 66 66 0
Second, 'owen' gives 500 to 'dave':
-198+500 66 66-500 66 0
302 66 -434 66 0
Third, 'amr' splits 150 between 'vick' and 'owen':
302 66 -434+7566+75 -150
302 66 -359141 -150
Fourth, 'laura' splits 0 between 'amr' and 'vick'; no changes:
302 66 -359141 -150
Finally, 'vick' gives 0 to no one:
davelauraowenvickamr
302 66 -359141 -150

Answer - Python

fin = open('gift1.in','r')
np = int(fin.readline().strip())
dictOfMoney = { fin.readline().strip() : 0 for i in range(np) }

while(True):
	giver = fin.readline().strip()
	if(giver==""):
		break
	amount, divided = map(int, fin.readline().strip().split())
	receivers = [fin.readline().strip() for i in range(divided)]

	try:
		quotient, remainder = divmod(amount,divided)
	except:
		quotient = remainder = 0

	for receiver in receivers:
		dictOfMoney[receiver] += quotient
	dictOfMoney[giver] += -amount + remainder

with open('gift1.out','w') as fout:
	for name, money in dictOfMoney.items():
		fout.write(f"{name} {money}\n")
