Multi-level marketing related challenge.

A peer wants to get rewarded. So it attracted N investors (N>=1), each i-th investor invested x[i]. When a total sum exceeds threshold x[0]+x[1]+...+x[N-1] >= T a peer could be rewarded. But only if a following conditions are satisfied:

  • Minimum amount of investors should be greater than M, (M<=N)
  • For at least one integer k, where k>=M and k<=N, any k investors have to invest at least T/k each;

Given N, x[], T, M you should determine whether the peer's reward is generated or not (boolean result, "yes" or "no"). Shortest code wins.

Examples:


N=5; M=3; T=10000, in order to generate the peer's reward one of the following must be satisfied:

  • any 3 invested at least 3334 each
  • any 4 invested at least 2500 each
  • all 5 invested at least 2000 each

N=6; M=2; T=5000:

  • any 2 invested at least 2500 each
  • any 3 invested at least 1667 each
  • any 4 invested at least 1250 each
  • any 5 invested at least 1000 each
  • all 6 invested at least 834 each

generalized: for any k, where k>=M and k<=N:

  • any k of N investors invested at least T/k each

Test cases:

format:

N, x[], T, M -> correct answer

6, [999, 999, 59, 0, 0, 0], 180, 3 -> 0
6, [0, 60, 0, 60, 60, 0], 180, 3 -> 1
6, [179, 89, 59, 44, 35, 29], 180, 3 -> 0
6, [179, 89, 59, 44, 35, 30], 180, 3 -> 1
6, [179, 89, 59, 44, 36, 29], 180, 3 -> 1
6, [179, 90, 59, 44, 35, 29], 180, 3 -> 0
6, [30, 30, 30, 30, 29, 30], 180, 3 -> 0

    \$\begingroup\$ @JonathanAllan Sure, if your language allows it, and writing len(x) will be shorter than writing N. That is made, because for dynamically allocated array x in C there is no direct len(x) function - so you may always refer to length as N. For convenience, you may consider all input data N, x[], T, M as some externally defined constants, or some language built-ins. \$\endgroup\$

Port of @JonathanAllan's Jelly answer, so also takes the inputs x T M and outputs 0 for "yes" and 1 for "no". If this is not allowed, and it should be inverted, a trailing _ can be added.

     s      # Swap to take the (implicit) input `T`
      è     # Get the prefix at index `T`
            #  i.e. [[84],[110,84],[180,110,84],[150,180,110,84],[100,154,150,180,110,84]]
            #   and `T=3` → [150,180,110,84]

Port of @Destroigo's C# .NET answer (after I golfed it some more), so make sure to upvote him!

Takes inputs N,x,T,M and outputs true/false for "yes"/"no" respectively.

Since the challenge specifically asks for boolean results, I can't return the 1/0 as is, since those aren't valid truthy/falsey values in Java. If any two distinct output values for "yes"/"no" is valid for this challenge instead, the >0 in the return can be dropped to save two bytes, in which case it'll return 1/0 for "yes"/"no" respectively.

Inspired by @EmbodimentOfIgnorance's answer.

I've mentioned this before, but C# 8 has a range literal which could make this answer something like this:

(n,x,t,m)=>[m..n-m+1].Any(k=>x.Count(y=>y>=t/k)>=k)

I saw a link to SharpLab with an example, but I wasn't able to get it to work myself.

One thing I changed was the x and t values are decimals. This handles the case where t is not divisible by k a little better.
