@surender: I assume you want to give general solution to Josephus problem in which we shoot every kth person...In that case formula for pos must be: pos = ( x*k )%n + (k-1)
In current context, k=2...thus the formula which you gave also holds true..but not when k != 2 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Algorithm Geeks" group.
