10034 - Freckles

Post by xenon »

This looks like a basic application of Prim's algo, and that's how I treat it. But I keep getting WA. Can anybody point me to my mistake?

[pascal]program p10034(input,output);

{SPOILER DELETED}

[/pascal]

Thanks so much,
-xenon

I use Prim algorithm too, but I use to implement it priority queue and got accepted ... maybe try to change your code in this way ?
your code looks the same (at first look)

Does 'Priority cue' mean sorting the distances first? I can see that that would improve the speed, but not the outcome. I don't think speed is a factor here, because my program WA's in 0.000 seconds.
Something else must be wrong. Could rounding be an issue?

I don't think, that precision error should be a problem. I didn't worry about that....
I use queue to insert distances, which I found, in right place ... it's a kind of insertion sort for first loop :-)
and Prim works like BFS with this priority queue ...
maybe this help you :-)

hi...xenon

Post by Even »

hello....xenon...

you can try to print one blank line after the last case...

for this stupid bug...I try Kruskal and Prim and spend two hours on it...

finally, I mark off my last line ( if( T ) puts("") )...

just like your ( if (caseno > 1) then writeln ; )

and then...it work...=.=....

hmm, very strange. I had the exact same problem as xenon
with constant WA's...print a newline after the last case, and you get
PE. What I don't understand is how that can result in WA?

thanks for the tip :)

Thanks even, now I also get PE by adding just one writeln statement!
This is really stupid. The judges should look into it.

I just use simple Kruskal algo. But it keeps getting WA. I even read my friend's code and still can't find out the bug. What's wrong with my code?

I don't know why I got WA when I use the qsort function.

Your sort function is wrong, you don't sort integers here!!
use perhaps:
int comp(const void *a,const void *b)
{
if (((edge *)a)->len>((edge *)b)->len) return 1;
if (((edge *)a)->len<((edge *)b)->len) return -1;
return 0;
}

honestly, if someone could explain me why on earth I get runtime error with this problem, would appreciate it... thanx
