A Set is a collection of data elements. Subset of a set is a set formed by only the elements after parent set. for example, B is A subset of a if all elements of B exist in A.
Here we need to find the sum of all subsets of a set found by first n natural numbers. this means I need to find all subsets that can be formed and then adding them. Let's take an example,
N = 3
Set = {1,2,3}
subsets formed = { {1}, {2}, {3}, {1,2}, {1,3}, {2,3}, {1,2,3,} }
Sum = 1+1+2+1+3+2+2+3+3+1+2+3 = 24
Lets rearrange the sum, 1+1+1+1+2+2+2+2+3+3+3 = 4(1+2+3) = 24
There exists a mathematical formula for this type of series, General formula of the series is 2^n*(n^2 + n + 2) – 1.
Example
#include <stdio.h> #define mod (int)(1e9 + 7) int power(int x, int y) { int res = 1; x = x % mod; while (y > 0) { if (y & 1) res = (res * x) % mod; y = y >> 1; x = (x * x) % mod; } return res; } int main() { int n = 45; n--; int ans = n * n; if (ans >= mod) ans %= mod; ans += n + 2; if (ans >= mod) ans %= mod; ans = (power(2, n) % mod * ans % mod) % mod; ans = (ans - 1 + mod) % mod; printf("The sum of the series is %d \n", ans); return 0; }
Output
The sim of the series is 2815
