Hi everyone!

I tried to do 10578 and was surprised to get WA... First of all I'm a little unsure how to handle the input.. for example if there is an empty line at the end of the input I should treat it as being a test case, right ? And what if there is a \n at the end of the last line but nothing else ?
Hope someone can help me, currently I'm doing something like:
[cpp]while( true ) {
gets(line);
if( feof(stdin) ) break;
...
}[/cpp]

Furthermore, is my output for the following tests correct ?

Input: Output: Thanks for any help!

Maarten, your input function seems ok to me but didn't produce the last output in my pc. Instead you can use:
[c]while(gets(line))[/c]

And the output for your input is

hmm.. so it seems i'm completely wrong in my output... then i probably made a stupid mistake somewhere. Thanks for your help so far

-Edit-
Thanks, got accepted now. I made a really stupid mistake... they're usually the hardest to find

What does "perfect strategy" means... I really got confused in problems which says that. Can you explain me a little about this?

In this game, e.g., what is the perfect strategy?

JP.

That is exactly what you have to figure out in this problem!

Perfect strategy means: If there IS a move that leads to a winning situation, you do that move, and no other. Imagine you are calculating all possible moves in the game, and determine if a move is winning, or loosing (or maybe undetermined). Then the move you actually do, is not a loosing move.

But someone on some time will need to do a loosing move, so the other will win . If this is true, that loosing move was not perfect, maybe it was the only move one could do.

I'm still confused with that...

i do minimax search on it.
but WA.
can anyone give me some cases that my code doesnt work?
[cpp]
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
int i,j,k;
char in[30];
int cards[35];

void main(void)
{
while (1)
{

sum=31;
for (i=1;i<=6;i++)
cards=4;


gets(in);
if (feof(stdin))
break;
int l=strlen(in);
for (i=0;i<=l;i++)
{
if (in=='1')
{
cards[in-0x30]--;
sum-=(in-0x30);
}

{

sum-=(in-0x30);
}

if (in=='3')

Hi SilVer DirectXer,

You can try these inputs:
1
2
3
4
5
6
11
112

And the answers:
1 A
2 A
3 B
4 B
5 A
6 B
11 A
112 B

Hope it helps

It seems that my problem takes too long to calculate the answers, but it works for the standard input. I explore all the branches of the tree. Help

Always consider the worst case. I'm guessing the worst case for you would be if input is simply "1".

To avoid computing the same thing over and over again, try to consider the fact that it doesn't matter in what order the previous cards have been played in.

Hi guys!

i dont know how optime my search in this problem, some hint ?

I used Dynamic programming to solve this problem.Think a dp table of size [31][4][4][4][4][4][4] is within memory
constraint of this problem.Just make best strategy at each recursion for each player and meomrize this for future use.
