i have no idea about why i get wrong answer..
i just test all possibilities,and print the anwer...
Does it may have more than one conterfeit dollar?

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

608 (Counterfeit Dollar) WA

Post by Revenger »

I just wonder why I get WA? For each coin I consider that it is false and then check 3 weighings. If these weighings are correct (I consider that all other coins is not false) then I write these coin as answer. Am I wrong?

[pascal]Program p608;

Var T,tt : Integer;
i,j,k : Integer;
Ch : Char;
Inf : Array[1..3]of Record L,R,S : String End;
S : String;

Function CheckChar(Ch : Char) : Boolean;
Var S,i,j : Integer;
begin
CheckChar:=False;
k:=0;
for i:=1 to 3 do begin
S:=0;
for j:=1 to length(Inf.L) do if Inf.L[j]=Ch then S:=S+1;
for j:=1 to length(Inf.R) do if Inf.R[j]=Ch then S:=S-1;
if (S=0) And (Inf.S<>'even') then Exit;
if (S<>0) And (Inf.S<>'up') then Exit;
if Inf.S='up' then if S<0 then k:=1;
end;
CheckChar:=True;
end;

begin
Readln(T);
for tt:=1 to T do begin
for k:=1 to 3 do begin
for i:=1 to length(S) do S:=UpCase(S);
Readln(S);
While S[1]=' ' do Delete(S,1,1);
Inf[k].L:=Copy(S,1,Pos(' ',S)-1);
Delete(S,1,Pos(' ',S));
While S[1]=' ' do Delete(S,1,1);
Inf[k].R:=Copy(S,1,Pos(' ',S)-1);
Delete(S,1,Pos(' ',S));
While Pos(' ',S)>0 do Delete(S,Pos(' ',S),1);
if S='EVEN' then Inf[k].S:='even' else
if S='UP' then Inf[k].S:='up' else begin
S:=Inf[k].L;
Inf[k].L:=Inf[k].R;
Inf[k].R:=S;
Inf[k].S:='up';
end;
end;
for Ch:='A' to 'L' do
if CheckChar(Ch) then begin
Write(Ch,' is the counterfeit coin and it is ');
if k=0 then Writeln('heavy.') else Writeln('light.');
Break;
end;
end;
end.[/pascal]

I made some test cases for you:

INPUT

ABCD EFGH even
I J even
K A even

A B even
DE FG up
KG LI down

F G up
G K even
A I even

ABCDE FGHIJ even
K A even
B D even

BEF AGI down
AEF BGI up
B C down

OUTPUT

L is the counterfeit coin and it is heavy.
G is the counterfeit coin and it is light.
F is the counterfeit coin and it is heavy.
L is the counterfeit coin and it is heavy.
B is the counterfeit coin and it is light.

Can someone post some outputs? I dno't think sergio's are correct because the solutions are not uniquely determined for some of them...

Hi!

I think my solution is correct :D

But, I can be wrong :P

In my first input
ABCD EFGH even
I J even
K A even

All the coins appear on weighing, least L, and all is fine. So, L is the answer, ok??

In the second input
A B even
DE FG up
KG LI down

A e B are good coins, obviously :D
So, we know the bad coin is D, E, F or G, ok??
Thus, only G appears again in third line.
But it appears on the other side, i think it

Ya, but
For each case, the output will identify the counterfeit coin by its letter and tell whether it is heavy or light. The solution will always be uniquely determined.
And since L never appeared, you don't know if it's heavy or light..

Well, I think you are right again :)

I made another test cases, I hope that it's ok. Tell me if you find some error.

INPUT
ABC DEF up
GHI JKL even
EF DA up

AFG JKL down
A J down
A D even

ED FG even
AB CI up
A D up

IL JK even
A B even
E L down

BEF JIL down
J A even
CEF BJI even

OUTPUT
D is the counterfeit coin and it is light.
J is the counterfeit coin and it is heavy.
A is the counterfeit coin and it is heavy.
E is the counterfeit coin and it is light.
L is the counterfeit coin and it is heavy.

Well, my JAVA program covers these test cases.

But still I get Wrong Answer after the program runs for
3.951 secs.

Are sure for example that there're empty lines between
the different test cases.

No, there're no empty lines in the tests used by Online Judge.
I've commented out the code which expects an empty
line between the different test cases and now the Online
Judge says "Accepted".

Just try the input/output. (I dont have any pascal compiler, so I dont know whether the set helps you or not...)

Input:

Code: Select all

1
AC BD down
AC EF down
A F even

Output:

Code: Select all

C is the counterfeit coin and it is light.
Hope it helps.
