I have collected Input for this problem from website.
But I can not check it.Because I have used long type array[1000][1000].
Which is not suported by my visual c++ compiler.
Please give me a good advise.
I am waiting.

Will I use dynamic variable?.
If not, Clarify me through example how to use adjacency list.
When M=500000(Five lucks)then what will be hapen.
Because the limit of value of M was not declared.
My another question is : "Can I use long array[1000][1000] in uva judge?"

method for representation of graph with adjancey list is well-known and easy fomular:
you can find them in many books, or internet pages.

Sure, memory is enough.
and I didn't knew that there exist a compiler which doesn't support 1000 * 1000 32-bit-integer marix.
BTW, In this problem, i guess that the most of input graphs are sparse graph, so I recommend you to use adjency lists/array rather than matrix.

plz clarify me something, i am getting tle. can this problem be solved using backtracking(dfs) within time-limit? output can be at most 2147483647. simply the program below run for near 3 sec in my computer
Code: Select all
void main()
{
int i;
for(i = 0; i < 2147483647; ++i)
;
}
which algorithm should be used for this problem with a better runtime? i used backtracking(dfs), i used adjacancy list, i pruned whenever a node is found before with a short distance. and one more question, can there be such any input, where a node is numdered with a value greater than n or less than 1? (n is the total number of nodes)

You can use Dijkstra to find a subgraph in which Jimmy may walk, then use dynamic programming to count paths in it.
Also, read explanation at this page

why am i getting wa? i used dijkstra to find distance to all vertices. then i ran the following DP
n_path(dest) = summation of n_path(v), where v is adjacent to dest and distance[v] == distance[dest] - weight[v,dets], is this correct?
Code: Select all
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <ctype.h>
struct
{
int adj;
int d;
} list[1009][1009];
int n, n_adj[1009], dist[1009], memory[1009];
bool visited[1009];
int extractMin()
{
int i, min = 2147483646, index = -1;
for(i = 0; i < n; ++i)
if(visited[i] == false && dist[i] != -1 && dist[i] < min)
{
min = dist[i];
index = i;
}
return index;
}
void dijkstra()
{
int i, u, v;
memset(dist, -1, sizeof(dist));
memset(visited, false, sizeof(visited));
dist[0] = 0;
for(;;)
{
u = extractMin();
if(u != -1)
visited[u] = true;
else
break;
for(i = 0; i < n_adj[u]; ++i)
{
v = list[u][i].adj;
if(visited[v] == false && (dist[v] == -1 || dist[v] > dist[u] + list[u][i].d))
dist[v] = dist[u] + list[u][i].d;
}
}
}
int n_path(int u)
{
if(u == 0)
return 1;
if(memory[u] != -1)
return memory[u];
int i, count = 0, v;
for(i = 0; i < n_adj[u]; ++i)
{
v = list[u][i].adj;
if(dist[v] != -1 && dist[v] == dist[u] - list[u][i].d)
count += n_path(v);
}
return memory[u] = count;
}
bool exit(char s[], int &m)
{
int i, count = 0, prev = ' ';
for(i = 0; s[i]; ++i)
{
if(isdigit(s[i]) && !isdigit(prev))
++count;
prev = s[i];
}
if(count == 1)
{
sscanf(s, "%d", &n);
if(n == 0)
return true;
}
else if(count == 2)
{
sscanf(s, "%d%d", &n, &m);
return false;
}
else
n /= 0;
return false;
}
void main()
{
int m, x, y, d;
char s[100];
for(;;)
{
scanf(" %[^\n]", s);
if(exit(s, m))
break;
memset(n_adj, 0, sizeof(n_adj));
while(m--)
{
scanf("%d%d%d", &x, &y, &d);
--x;
--y;
list[x][n_adj[x]].adj = y;
list[x][n_adj[x]++].d = d;
list[y][n_adj[y]].adj = x;
list[y][n_adj[y]++].d = d;
}
dijkstra();
memset(memory, -1, sizeof(memory));
printf("%d\n", n_path(1));
}
}
i read the explanation of the page above, but i dont understand is there any necessity of topological sort?

Try this:
Let d(u) be the distance between vertice u and 2.
then f(u) = sum of f(v) such that u,v are adjacent and d(v)<d(u)
where f(u) is the number of path from u to 2
Why WA...

What i've done is:
1. Find shortest path from 2 to all vertex using dijkstra
2. build another di graph with edges (u,v) such that d
> d[v] in the original graph. that is length of any path from v to 2 is shorter than length of any path from u to 2;
3. count the number of paths from 1 to 2 in the new graph using BFS.
I'm getting WA with this approach. This code passes the inputs given in this post.Can some1 give me some I/O , suggetions plz.

I have implemented this & getting WA.
This is my function :
Code: Select all
int f(int u)
{
int cnt=0,v;
if(u==2)
return 1;
if(ct[u]>=0)
return ct[u];
for(v=1;v<=n;v++)
if(mat[v][u]<inf && dist[v]<dist[u])
cnt+=f(v);
ct[u]=cnt;
return ct[u];
}
Here
ct is the number of paths from u to 2.
dist is the distance from 2 to u.
Have i understood something wrong?
& i think Jan's 1st set of input is wrong because :
There is at most one path between any pair of intersections.
I have checked that there is no such input in which there is more than one pair of inputs between any pair of nodes.

Oh that was fully because of a small mistake in the implementation of dijkstra.

Now got AC
Jan's first set of output should be like this:
Code: Select all
6 9
1 6 2995
6 3 4827
3 1 32391
3 5 12382
5 4 18716
4 3 19895
6 1 1869
1 5 25667
5 2 17035
Ouput is the same as given by him.
