Is there some weird test case? My program handles the input perfectly. I sort by angle, distribute them OK, and it still doesn't work. Anyone get AC on this and have any insight to share?

Be careful when comparing two double values.
It shouldn't be if (curr->degrees() > c.loc.degrees() || (curr->degrees() == c.loc.degrees() && curr->r() > c.loc.r())) break;
you should use:
if (curr->degrees()>=c.loc.degrees()+1e-6 || fabs(curr->degrees() - c.loc.degrees())<1e-6 && curr->r() > c.loc.r())) break;

Right, I understand that, but I'd think the language would be able to handle equality of doubles. What I'm trying to say is that atan2(3, 4) and atan2(36, 48) should return precisely the same double value, for example.
Anyway, any further insights on this problem? It produces precisely the required output on the test cases (I used diff to check) and it still won't accept my answer. What's galling is that it's not even that difficult of a problem!

id has up to 50 characters, so you have to allocate 51 characters (remember the \0 that is used to indicate the end of the string).
Same applies to name, you have to reserve 26 characters.
Just a simple rule: always use arrays a bit bigger than needed, so you don't have to think about that \0.
And why don't you use the qsort function of <stdlib.h>? or sort of <algorithm> ? It makes things a lot easier.

The only thing I changed was the length of the strings, Specifically, I can change the length of id with no problem whatsoever, but once I then proceed to make the name longer it crashes on Valladolid while running fine on my computer.
The reason I didn't use those sort functions was because I didn't know about them, or how to use them. Besides, I figured a simple ordered insert would work just fine.

I think you still have problems in your sorting routine.
Here is a compare function that would give you true, if customer a is smaller than customer b, that means the degrees of his location is smaller or he is nearer to the origin.
bool operator<(customer a, customer b) {
if (fabs(a.loc.degrees()-b.loc.degrees())>1e-6)
return a.loc.degrees()<b.loc.degrees();
return a.loc.r()<b.loc.r();
}
Now you can use the < operator to compare two customers.
And to use sort, you just need to include <algorithm> and then you write:
sort(array,array+number_of_elements);
this function uses the operator< of the given array type for comparison and sorts your array.

How about that eh? I got accepted!
I think I learned a valuable lesson here but it might take some time for me to figure out what that is.
Thanks again for your kind and patient help; I hope to be able to do the same for others who struggle in the future.

I get CE on problem and am at the end of my rope
I'm trying to submit my sol. to problem 206, but keep getting compile error! I've confirmed that it works fine both on my debian box (g++ (GCC) 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-13)), and on my school's FreeBSD box, g++ version 2.95.4, which I hear is exactly what the judge uses (minus the FreeBSD I guess).
It compiles perfectly fine on all of those boxes, and gives no warnings when I use the -Wall flag.
I have not been e-mailed any compile output from the judge, but was wondering if there was a way I could get it. Ideally, I'd like to view it online, but I bet that's not a possibility.
cheers

Re: 206 WA
I think the only trick of this problem is to calculate angle.
except 0, 90, 180, 270 degree angle, you can use the formula:
And,
Hope it helps.
except 0, 90, 180, 270 degree angle, you can use the formula:
Code: Select all
a = atan2( fabs( y-cordinate ), fabs( x-cordinate ) ) * ( 45 / atan( 1.0 ) );
Code: Select all
in 1st quadrant angle is just a.
in 2nd quadrant angle is 180 - a
in 3rd quadrant angle is 180 + a
in 4th quadrant angle is 360 - a
