# Minimize Rounding Error to Meet Target

Given an array of prices`[p1,p2...,pn]`and a`target`, round each price`pi`to`Roundi(pi)`so that the rounded array`[Round1(p1),Round2(p2)...,Roundn(pn)]`sums to the given`target`. Each operation`Roundi(pi)`could be either`Floor(pi)`or`Ceil(pi)`.

Return the string`"-1"`if the rounded array is impossible to sum to`target`. Otherwise, return the smallest rounding error, which is defined as Σ |Roundi(pi) - (pi)| forifrom 1 ton, as a string with three places after the decimal.

**Example 1:**

```
Input: 
prices = 
["0.700","2.800","4.900"]
, target = 
8
Output: 
"1.000"
Explanation: 

Use Floor, Ceil and Ceil operations to get (0.7 - 0) + (3 - 2.8) + (5 - 4.9) = 0.7 + 0.2 + 0.1 = 1.0 .
```

**Example 2:**

```
Input: 
prices = 
["1.500","2.500","3.500"]
, target = 
10
Output: 
"-1"
Explanation: 

It is impossible to meet the target.
```

**Note:**

1. `1`

   `<`

   `= prices.length`

   `<`

   `= 500`

   .
2. Each string of prices

   `prices[i]`

   represents a real number which is between 0 and 1000 and has exactly 3 decimal places.
3. `target`

   is between 0 and 1000000.

分析

int和floor差不多，也是切头，3 = 3.000 True

这里算出max和min，中间差的就是floor或者ceil。 max-target就是多出来的，需要floor的数字。

记住map和filter都要变List

format用法：**"{:.3f}".format(res)**

```
from math import ceil,floor
class Solution:
    def minimizeError(self, prices: List[str], target: int) -> str:
        prices = list(map(float,prices))
        lg,sm = int(sum(map(ceil,prices))),sum(map(int,prices))
        if not sm<=target<=lg:
            return "-1"
        m = lg-target
        prices = list(filter(lambda x: x!=int(x),prices))
        prices.sort(key = lambda x: (x-int(x)))
        res = sum(x-int(x) for x in prices[:m]) + sum(ceil(x)-x for x in prices[m:])
        return "{:.3f}".format(res)
```
