I am out of luck.I put d_2=d_1-int(d_1)+25 instead of d_2=d_1-
int(d_1)+K-1  but i am getting WA.
"The decimal module would get you the results you need (are you
allowed
imports?).  Or you could roll your own log implementation based on
integer arithmetic. "
I don't know if is possible to import this decimal module but kindly
tell me.Also a bit about log implementation
Thank you
