Accepted doesn't mean your program's right. It just means your program got every test case correctly that the judge decided to throw at it. Don't confuse the two: accepted does not mean right. And I wonder, sometimes right does not mean accepted either... Some of these judgings are highly doubtful.

I don't really agree with either of you. You can do it without doubles at all, but then, that is a hassle in itself. Not using it would look like this: int intpart, input; char ch1, ch2; ins >> intpart; // Get integer part of the input ins >> ch1; // Decimal point, we can trash this ins >> ch1 >> ch...

Two things you never do with floats and doubles: 1. Compare them directly. 2. Converting them directly to integers. You suffer from the first problem. NEVER compare floats directly. Due to rounding errors, you may have minute differences that make the internal representations different. Instead of a...

I have used Yahoo! mail (two words, and make sure you include the exclamation) for some time to submit my solutions, though I've switched to the online submissions lately. First of all, disable HTML in preferences and send it as text. Don't complain that it doesn't send in text, because that's an op...

I actually had it happen on my Windows CodeWarrior compiler on this 147 problem (which is insanely easy, if you ask me) which is why I figured out I had to round on here. Really, try it explicitly with the following code, which will test for such rounding problems: [cpp]#include <iostream.h> #includ...

If you don't round it like that, then it won't work whenever you use doubles. Second solution: use precision(0) on floats so it rounds to the nearest integer

Especially when a very simple O(n^2) algorithm exists, as well as some more complex ones that run faster. But we're taking sub .1 second times here.

Here is a test case:

5
A:ab=Bbcdefghijk
B:abc=Ajdef=Cb
C:ab
D:cd=Eg
E:fg=Bf
AaAk
AcAk
AbBb
BaDd
#

The correct output is:
9: Aab=Bbc=Ajk
8: Acdefghijk
3: Ab=Bb
8: Babcdef=Dd

Your program gives:
9: Aab=Bbc=Ajk
8: Acdefghijk
3: Ab=Bb
11: Babcdef=Eg=Dd

I have been trying to solve problem 199 (Partial Differential Equations), and have noticed two things: 1. The sample output as stated in the problem description is wrong. It should be: -36 0 0 36 0 -36 27 0 0 18 -36 0 9 0 0 -36 -35 -188 -189 -315 2. I get a Presentation Error for no good reason, eve...

I am getting a Presentation Error for 139. I have tried many formatting devices, tabs, spaces, getting rid of trailing spaces, etc., and I keep getting Presentation Errors! I do not see any formatting information in the text, but some of the submissions have been accepted without Presentation Error,...

I feel flabbergastingly stupid... but I had never done a multiple input problem before (haha, I was stuck on volume 1) so... anyways... it works, just can you make it clear about how to do multiple input IN the problem description, not by a little green icon next to it. Thanks.

I am hereby convinced that... the judge for problem 110 doesn't work. It's just amazing how many things I've tried on it, even sample solutions from other websites, and guess what, they don't work. Also, the problem description for 199 needs to be corrected. Sample b vector is -35 -188 -189 -315. An...

See, I have solved this, found it doesn't work (though it looks fine to me), found two other solutions floating around on the web which produce the same answer, and big surprise, they don't work. Can anybody tell me if this program generates the right cases for up to n equals 8? [cpp] #include <iost...

Sorry to say, I don't think that helps much either.
