hey ,whats the tricky part with this one .i thought it was too simple to do

Code: Select all

else
	printf("Unable to make two crossesn");

printf("n");

I have tested your program.I guess, Your program always considers second vertical string to be longer than first vertical string.

for example it gives wrong output for:

BALL CATAM BALL BA

[ram]

Even I am getting wrong answer. But I have tried many test cases.Its OK with all those test cases. I am using VC++/windows.

Here is the code. Can any body help me???

Please put

Code: Select all

tags around your code. Otherwise, it is hard to read.

[Rossi]

Finally i've got it right.
I'd problems with the print functions .it discarded some prtion of the output when the second cross was longer

[Caesum]

I keep getting WA on this and I am not sure why. Here is some sample input and output from my program:

[Stefan Pochmann]

Other than the lineup trouble of the board your output is correct.

Admins (or whoever knows): Is there a bbcode tag that supports preformatted text, like the pre-tag of html? If not, could you perhaps add one?

[Caesum]

can you think of anything other cases which might cause difficulty ?

[Caesum]

never mind, i discovered it. I was printing some extra spaces on occasional lines at the end of the lines..... AC now

[fpnc]

Is there a bbcode tag that supports preformatted text, like the pre-tag of html? If not, could you perhaps add one?

AFAIK, there is no such tag in phpBB. I could try to add it but not before July because I'm quite busy now (final exams...)

[pc5971]

I posted this program but I received an WA. Can somebody give me an exemple that make my program to go wrong???

[ivec]

I see a lot of complicated output code in this thread.

You may want to consider the following formatting string for printf:

Code: Select all

 printf("%*c\n", col_index , c );

This prints character 'c' in column 'col_index' after the current position, by inserting leading spaces. The * instructs the formatter to pick the field width from an int parameter.

And in a similar fashion:

Code: Select all

 printf("%*c%*c\n", col0,c0,col1-col0,c1);

... prints c0 in column col0 and c1 in column col1.

With that, the whole output code can be written in 7 lines...

[dootzky]

i do the following:

- take 4 words
- find out which one of 2 vertical words is longer
- form a array of chars (polje[20][20])
- fill it very carefully with spaces and letters of every word
- print out that array

here is my code, everything seems to be in order, did i miss somethin'?
