Re: 645 - File Mapping

Directories should remain unsorted. Print them in the order they appear in the input as in the sample I/O. Here is output from my AC code for your input. DATA SET 1: ROOT | dir3 | | dir2 | | file1 | | file2 | dir1 file1 file2 file3 file4 DATA SET 2: ROOT file1 file2 DATA SET 3: ROOT DATA SET 4: ROO...

Re: 10374 - Election

I got WA the first 3 submissions. The judges input is fine and uDebug even explains in an earlier post how to handle reading the i/o. Here is some input I created that pointed out some cases I overlooked. Once I solved this i/o correctly, I got Accepted with NO fancy tricks. In my Accepted program I...

Re: 271 - Simply Syntax

Hello all, First of all, you can do this problem without recursion. It is solve-able using recursion, but definitely not necessary. A recursive solution may not run in time. I will give you all a hint: use a stack! Also, if you think about the problem you will realize you just need a for loop with n...

Hey all, even though it is about 14 years later, I thought I'd let you know you can now submit problems with Python!

Re: 12442 - Forwarding Emails

Hi. Could anyone please help me understand why I'm getting TLE for this problem when I pass all test data provided here. I am using Java and have done re-factoring on the code a few times now. Really starting to feel down about it. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. import java.util.Arrays; ...

Re: 10200 - Prime Time

This problem was beyond frustrating. I kept getting WA and I knew my algorithm was efficient and correct. I also debugged on uDebug. Once I read the posts here and saw that BrianFry (thank you Brian!) said to add 1e-9 to your final percentage I finally got ACC. I wish the judge would just ask for th...

Re: 10192 - Vacation

Ok, this problem was a pain. I got WA 10 times before I got ACC due to I/O mistakes. If you got WA on this problem it is most likely due to I/O and not your LCS algorithm... and yes basic LCS is enough for this problem. Here is some I/O: abcd caabd a b b a a b a b aaaaaaaaaaaa aaaa bbbbbbb bbbbbbb x...

Re: 10147 - Highways

I solved this problem in not so great time using the C++ STL priority_queue data structure and Kruskal's algorithm... Kruskal's relies on using a set union data structure which is just an array that keeps track of the i_th vertex's parent in the minimum spanning tree. Mahade- Your nested loops have ...

Re: 10132 - File Fragmentation

I solved this problem with backtracking in 0.015. A hint to those who are lost: for each test case compute the length of the solution string by summing all the input string lengths and dividing by (number of lines / 2) and exploit this in your pruning.

Re: 10000 - Longest Paths

I solved this in 0.065s using BFS in C. Consider this test case... 4 1 1 3 1 2 2 3 1 2 0 0 0 ACC output is: Case 1: The longest path from 1 has length 3, finishing at 2. The problem people are having with BFS is most likely due to not revisiting nodes. Although in a BFS you don't visit a node that h...
