I get wrong answer for many times, but I still can't find my bug.
Can anyone tell me what is wrong?

The number that is greater than 10^60 should have 61 diigts, I think.

Hi,
I hope you are not stopping at the first number greater than 2^60 that u encounter.. Finidh that row and then exit.. Since you had not mentioned anythong else so i assume this is the case...

If you have any problems i might pass a snippet of the code to you..

485 - Triangle Pascal Help... is BigNum?

Post by wyanez »

This problem is of BigNum or it is possible to use long double or double?
Thank... :wink:

my code is WA:

[cpp]
// Problem 485 - Triangle Pascal
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

double ant[10000],actual[10000],*pact,*pant;
char *maxi="1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000";

int main(){
int i,linea=3;
char strnum[100];
long double maxim=atof(maxi);

ant[0]=1; ant[1]=1; pant=ant;
pact=actual;
cout<<1<<endl;
cout<<"1 1"<<endl;
for( ; ; ){
cout<<1;
*pact=1;
for(i=1;i<linea;i++){
*(pact+i)=*(pant+i)+*(pant+(i-1));
sprintf(strnum,"%.0Lf",*(pact+i));
cout<<" "<<strnum;
if(*(pact+i)>=maxim) goto the_fin;
}
for(i=1;i<linea;i++) *(pant+i)=*(pact+i);
cout<<endl;
linea++;
}

the_fin:
return 0;
}

it's really an easy problem.
use DP and Bignum having ony add function and check out the length of the answer to stop printing.

485 - Pascal's Triangle WA!!

Post by Dani Rodrigo »

I don't find the mistake of my program.
It output all the rows until row 204 (this row included, row 204 is the first which contain a number bigger tha 10^60).

This is my code:




#include <stdio.h>


void main ()
{
double antiguos[300], nuevos[300], cota;
int i, lon, chivato=0;

cota=1;
for (i=0; i<60; i++)
cota = cota*10;

printf ("1\n1 1\n");
antiguos[0]=1; antiguos[1]=1;
lon=2;

while ( chivato==0 )
{
nuevos[0]=1.0;
printf ("1");
for (i=1; i<lon; i++)
{
nuevos = antiguos[i-1]+antiguos;
printf (" %.0f", nuevos);
if ( nuevos >= cota )
chivato=1;
}
nuevos[lon]=1.0;
printf (" 1\n");
lon++;
for (i=0; i<lon; i++)
antiguos=nuevos;
}
}


Thanks you!

Doubles do not have enough precision to answer this question correctly.
