# --description--
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The following equation represents the continuous topography of a mountainous region, giving the elevation h at any point (x,y):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A mosquito intends to fly from A(200,200) to B(1400,1400), without leaving the area given by 0 ≤ x, y ≤ 1600.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Because of the intervening mountains, it first rises straight up to a point A', having elevation f. Then, while remaining at the same elevation f, it flies around any obstacles until it arrives at a point B' directly above B.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
First, determine fmin which is the minimum constant elevation allowing such a trip from A to B, while remaining in the specified area. Then, find the length of the shortest path between A' and B', while flying at that constant elevation fmin.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Give that length as your answer, rounded to three decimal places.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note: For convenience, the elevation function shown above is repeated below, in a form suitable for most programming languages: h=( 5000-0.005*(x*x+y*y+x*y)+12.5*(x+y) )* exp( -abs(0.000001*(x*x+y*y)-0.0015*(x+y)+0.7) )

`euler262()` should return 2531.205.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
assert.strictEqual(euler262(), 2531.205);
|
||
|
|
```
